I wasn't too sure where to post this, but I figured I'd post it here since they sell basses. They sell all types of musical instruments/accessories, but I forget the name ALL THE TIME. It's a Japanese site, and it's two words seperated by a hypen. I think the first word starts with an "i" and...

Man, this thread... I have so many visions for what I'd want my custom bass to be like. I feel like I'm not good enough to have a signature bass, but hell, if Pete Wentz can, I sure can! Mine would be a Thunderbird. Two color choices - black with red pickguard, or white with black pickguard...

I also have an Epiphone Thunderbird. You can either get someone to put a strap button in behind the neck, or... well, what I do is when I'm standing up and playing, I totally relax my right arm on the bass so that the pressure keeps the neck from dropping.

Slapping doesn't matter, it's no requirement to be a great bassist. Some people just like to be obnoxious and say "If you can't slap, you can't play bass."

I've got an Epiphone T-bird. Not exactly made for the blues, but it gets the job done. Sounds especially great through the SWR my instructor's bassist uses. By that, I mean that my instructor is a guitarist and is teaching me bass. But man, that SWR is nice.

Hmm, the first note is wrong. it's an E, but the open E string, not the octave. The main riff is also more complex than this. I might just have to bite the bullet and tab it for myself.

This is a freaking sweet, funky tune. One may see "Beastie Boys" and think crap, but this song is amazing. Does anyone have a good tab of it? I saw a tab in Bass Player Magazine at Barnes and Noble, but didn't have any cash on me to get it. If anyone has the February 2008 issue, it'd be cool...

I thought that the EMG40's were for five strings? Or does that even matter?

Okay, so I measured them and they're 4" x 1 1/2". Hope this helps!

This is my second bass (first was an Ibanez that came in a starter pack), and I'm wondering what EMG's I need for it, or if any work at all. It's an Epiphone Thunderbird, if it makes any difference. Thanks in advance!
