Thanks for the replies guys. I'm with Fenwick- I use mine for fast playing but it still feels like I'm playing with someone else's hand when I compare it to the forefinger. I'm sure I could probably just practice it to death but I don't see that level of dexterity (on par with the other two...

I have a question for you guys - is your ring finger 'up to par' with your forefinger and middle finger? I never pluck with my pinky so never mind that. What I'm curious about is relative dexterity for the first three fingers. If there's a song that you can just barely play using only your...

Absolutely definitely for sure. There are days I really 'slay' it in my own humble opinion, and other days where I'm just struggling and falling all over myself, fingers bunching up, etc. I think it has to do with how practiced you are (I am not), but also the amount of sleep you get, diet...

I'm going to bump this thing out of the cold depths of thread cemetery just to say that this is the exact bass that I have- and I can't find info on it anywhere. I first noticed that none of the manuals or website info on the Ibanez site matches the bass and then a couple of people commented on...

Nice! This is the exact bass I'm thinking of getting- BTB785PBAM. They don't make that model anymore and apparently don't make the AM finish either, at least for the 5 string. I found one new but at a consignment shop (damaged somehow at the factory- I can't seem to find any indications though)...

Yep. Looks exactly like that, except somehow more beautiful. :)

Hi all... first post here, looks like a great place and I'll be sticking around, at least to lurk. :) I was bringing my Fender Jazz into the shop yesterday and stopped by their used/consignment section. There was a bass that immediately drew my attention, at least aesthetically. It was an...
