I'm 25, started playing upright in the orchestra when I was 9. Got my first bass guitar at 11 and played until I was about 20 then unfortunately life got in the way and just got back at it about 5 months ago.

It's subject to change weekly but this week it's Volbeat.

I vote stick with the 4. I ran a 5 for a while and used the B string every now and then but couldn't get used to the neck. Now I have a dedicated 4 string strung BEAD, it's very rare that I venture onto the G anyway so I don't feel like I'm missing anything and I have a neck I can play on.

Just a bump to see what else is going on around the state. Picked up some new (to me) gear yesterday. Snagged a used Ashdown mag 300 and mag 410 from guitar center for a song. Band practice tonight so I'm pretty stoked. Finally time to retire the Ampeg BA112 to practice duties. On a side note...
