I have a 6 and a 4, but no 5s. I have no idea why. : ) Id have told her that its because ppl acuse me of showing off when I play my Custom 3 string basses, then watch the confused look on his face when she tells him.

Started out on bass at 15ish.. played bass only until I was 19 I guess, and switched to guitar exclusivly untill about 3 years ago, we had two many guitarists at church and a big hole in the bottom in, so i borrowed a bass and fell in love with it again. Cant seem to find a band to play with...

Thank you so much for the link. exactly what i was looking for. Amazing the atention to detail, you have no idea how much id love to order a fretless version of that bass. oh well we can all dream right.. :(

Just an odd thought after my previous is it fake Mim thread. There are people out there with the skill at faking instruments such as pre cbs basses, some of them so good no doubt there are bassists that are happily playing them with out knowing thay arent the real thing. So my question is...

"Isn't that because the £50 fakes (and the pre-CBS fakes) are too well done for most of us to catch?" Could be. Begs an interesting question thought. maybe for another thread... If my jazz had of turned out to be fake, im not affected, it plays well and cost me nothing. so even if it was...

Antoria H&S no pic of the antoria its not here, ive only so much room on the boat. :D John.

"I see you are in the UK...MIM Fenders sold for about $250.00 or less new when they first came out" Yeah, dont rub it in, they are double that over here. : ) Thanks for all the replys though guys, makes me feel alot better for the friend i got it from as he paid full price for it. As to why...

I got this about a year ago, as a trade for an old acoustic guitar. ( i got the acoustic as thanks for fitting a friends tv ariel, so if it turns out it is a fake im not out any money ) The guy I got it from payed full book price for it as a 'new' Fender mim, But im not sure, nothing has any...

"Maybe I just got lucky with one of those one-in-a-million Squiers? " It happens, I play (hangs head) guitar too I bought what I thought was a junker 80s korean squire strat as a backup guitar for an RG470 Ibanez. The squire blew it into the weeds, I was working in a guitar shop in south wales...

When im practicing I tend to overplay like crazy with the 6 string, but lay back with the 4. Maybe its an expectancy thing, I think I should be ultra technical becauce its phycalogical a more technical instrument with more strings? Hmm. Not sure. Oh and feel free to change my posts to the...

"Right now I'm using it for songs in mass, and it's great. It's not like a heavy metal use obviously, it's just great support under the choir." Thats what i like about the low B. you can do the "pretending to be a church organ bit" So nice : ) I find I really dont use the c much at all, its...

Im getting there with the rythems : ). Thankfully I havent been handed any specific parts yet... kinda not sure i will actually, the worship group leader is a really good bloke and i think he realised pretty quick im not that good and is letting me ease in gently. I'm ok with the chord symbols...

Hi new guy here. Joined ages ago havent had the chance to post much, wanted to say hello. Having read some of the threads above seems i have the opposite problem as you some of you guys, I joined a new church about 6 months ago after moving, turns out the music group dont have a bass player and...

I use the low B for playing notes and the high c for driving guitarists who take way waayy too long to tune up crazy : ) Ive grown fond of the puzzled "hey was that me?" looks on thair poor faces.
