    I hate new slinkies. I do like them after 5 or 6 months of dead skin gets packed into the winds....

    Any suggestions?

    I haven't swapped around enough to have a real favorite yet. Figured mentioning a few characteristics I was looking for would give me a good starting point.

    One finger

    Broaden my mind about a new bass!

    My latest GASes have been for G&L 2000s and Lakland skylines. They just play so smooth and you can shape em to anything you want.

    Some guidance please?

    College is more of an exercise in completing a goal than it is a knowledge building experience. Any business degree, music biz, hotel biz, carwash biz, it's all just a business degree. None of them are worthwhile nor are they worthless. These horror stories of people ruining their lives...
