Do I get a number? Coffin is sad that the teenage edgy numbers like 666 and 69 are already taken, but they will get over it. ;)

Just a Fender Player Plus "Belaire Blue" 6 string treble (It's not a bass, right? So it must be a treble) as well as a mustang micro. So, guitar stuff instead of bass stuff.

May I join? I just bought this Rumble 25 at a music store used for 100 dollars, so a 40 dollar discount off of new (worth it or should I have gotten new? *shrugs*). When I got Coffin I decided I needed an amp that would work well with both a guitar and a bass (previously my only amp was that...

As you wish. I updated the other thread where I detail just how beat up this thing is, but basically my partner fixed the filed off fret, adjusted the truss rod (ordered wrongly threaded truss rod nut), but also sadly the nail holding the E string is no longer in place as the nut has been...

Hi all, just tiptoeing in to lurk with my old beat up Spector. Don't mind the noob plinking away in the background.

Update! Well, my partner has taken up being an amateur luthier and has thus far adjusted the bridge (you don't want to know), replaced the filed down fret, replaced the nut (including removing the cool nail :( ), replaced the strap button, and adjusted the truss rod. It plays well now but...

The title says it all, is there anywhere online I can go to get one? I don't know the specs of the rod, and want to be able to purchase before taking the rod out (long story) and google isn't being very helpful. Anyone have a spec sheet on these or a spector performer of this generation that...

Update: Thank you to everyone for your replies; an interesting mix of views. I am now practicing both alternating finger (index, middle) and alternating finger floating thumb (to assist with muting, although I am finding this one harder). As this implies I am also trying out all of the...

Yes, they have thumbs :P They just got the wrong idea in their head. Also, nice tat.

Yes, using the plucking finger to mute the string physically above it if necessary.

Flamenco bass? lol. No, they are head strong (in the wrong ways) and probably came across the wrong information and went with it. I do admit tho, 1 finger per string plucking is kinda fun...

Yes, I watch them play. On their 4 string they pluck the E string with their index finger and the g string with their pinky, etc. They also have a 6 string, and have to move their plucking hand up and down so doesn't seem to work as well. Meh, I've been practicing the alternate finger method...

Thank you for the reply. The only thing I could find for 4 finger plucking was for doing really high speed stuff, which is why I was confuzzled in the first place. You reminded me about picking, which is something I haven't even tried yet on the bass. I think I really need to just hire a...

They actually play with one finger on each string to pluck it, but I see what you are saying about the fret hand as well. My room mate is also new to it and hasn't had any proper training (one of the reasons I joined here ;) ). So they are basically doing it all wrong then, which might explain...

Hi all, I recently started to try my hands at the bass and my room mate who got me started has been using 4 fingers (one for each string) and that is what they tried to convey to me. This seems to conflict with the stuff I have read saying to use alternate finger fingering when plucking the...
