    ibanez atk...

    nah i didnt mean the silk, d'addario's dont have em. i'd wanna keep thru-body stringing them as the extra sustain you get is top notch. i shall try the super long scales out, i never knew they existed! thanks for all the advice though guys!

    it's both. i've ordered it, if it doesnt live up to expectations i can send it back with a refund so it's all good. i'll see on monday what it's like. if it's as good as i hope it is (and reviewed as) then i owe it to the advice of jungleheat, may have been a tad patronising to me but it was...

    jeez i only said i bought a crap amp cos i was a bit foolish (and wasted), i've learnt since then, yeah i'll be the first to admit i'm no whizzkid when it comes to amps, and i don't really wanna sell the squier, she makes a good backup bass, plus my band plays a lot of songs in flats so its...
