    Why does drop tuning sound better than a 5 string?

    I had to play my Ibby SR500 in drop B Saturday for a stone sour cover and it sounded great. My string gauges are just the usual .105. I think it might just have to do with your personal attack.......I'm pretty heavy handed finger style, but I was using a pick on that song too though.

    Ibanez SR305 vs Jackson JS3V

    I've played both and owned a 305, I also agree with the above to try to move up to a 505. It seemed to me that the string spacing on the Jackson was way narrow, which I guess would be good for some ppl.

    Did you always want to be a bass player?

    Started playing guitar at 13 when I moved to a new town because all of my new friends played. At 14 ( but played guitar constantly at home) took on bass because we didn't know any bass players.......I immediately joined 3 bands the day my bass came in. Stopped playing bass altogether in 2000...

    Ampeg b2re

    I actually just acquired the Ampeg B2RE Saturday in a gear trade. I've only used it once at practice so far, but I was impressed. At the moment I'm only running 250 watts at 8 ohms (4x10 carvin RL). Still will bump up to 4 ohms at some point to get the full 450 watts. It took some getting used...

    Oh I know it.......he's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.....then he wondered why everybody at work refers to him as "dumbass" I never respond to a Craigslist ad unless I'm 98% sure it's real.

    Show off your rig!

    Here's what I'm currently working with. Peavey Combo 115 and Carvin 4x10 cab. Unfortunately, I'm not pushing full power through the cab, as it's 8 ohm and my extension jack is 4 ohm. Looking to get rid of the combo and my 5 string to fund a head.
