Okay, so it's about that time for new strings. I play a 5 string Cirrus, for progmetal, in D standard with the lowest string being an A. A friend of mine recommended the dunlop super bright steel set, but I don't think I can get away with a .125 for a low A. The D'addario flexsteels are my...

Hey. Hella late, I know. But, out of pure curiosity, you wouldn't still happen to have this right?

I've haven't tried many G&L's, but I wasn't crazy about the few that I tried. As far as Lakland's, I was thinking of a 55-01, but they get pretty expensive if you want the USA made ones. Rivals a Cirrus in playability, build quality, electronics, and general sound. Those things sound so damn...

I recently missed out on buying a USA Cirrus and I'm kicking myself for it. (Had to pay for textbooks and other stuff :rollno:) The Cirrus, in my mind, was the best value you could get. Everything a high end bass has, and great playability packed into a hard case and shipped out for about...

Alright. It's about that time. GAS plus a legit need for a new 5 string has me in a tough spot. I figure that if I'm gonna buy a good 5 string of $1000+, it should be a really good one. So far, I've narrowed it down to 3 choices. 1. An American made Peavey Cirrus V 2. A Warwick (Ideally a...

That's quite a relief to hear. Thanks again! Also though, do you think there's a better bass out there for the price range, or should I just go with the Combustion?

Alright, so I'm in the market for a Combustion 5. The low B sounds absolutely killer and the looks are top notch. My question is about the electronics though. I've heard they lack any kind of mid range punch which causes me a great bit of concern. Can any owners clarify? Also, it'll run me...

Yeah. I was talking about cash back. So that I can buy it and then get it set up.

It is, no doubt. But that schecter sounded so good, and for only 400, it seems like a steal.

Okay, so I'm thinking of trading in my Lightwave Saber C4 for a Schecter Raiden Special 5. I'm heavily conflicted because I really like the Lightwave (and I got it signed by Dave Ellefson and Frank Bello). The playability is awesome and it's comfortable as hell, but the tone doesn't always do...
