I think they should add seafoam green, daphne blue, and shell pink as part of the standard color scheme.

I think you're better off just going for a MIM...or just dishing out the cash for a CIJ or MIA. The highway 1 and American specials are just hyped up mexican basses...assembled in USA. Don't believe me? note the color option of "candy apple red" in the american specials as opposed to Candy...

I play in a pop punk band. I use the black 1.14mm Dunlop Tortex jazz III's. I like the fact that they're small because I always found myself "choking up" on the normal shape picks. So the Jazz III's just fit the way I like them to. (Weird preference for bass I know...)

They're pretty solid instruments. $299 is a great price. Put some Suhr or Lollar pickups in there and sound like a monster.

I would suggest a new Squier CV Pbass or a used MIM Fender Pbass. Theres just something about playing a Pbass with a pick through an SVT. Its simply rock n roll.

It was meant to be...You two were meant for each other :bassist:

What do you know...another P bass thead turned into a Hoppus hate thread...yeah he sucks people...millions of dollars worth of suck. GET REAL. :scowl: Pop punk is supposed to be simple. He doesn't over-play and he knows how to make is band sound good and he does just that. The bass is...

I'm always diggin on maple fretboards. I do believe maple is a bit "snappier" in tone. But my real opinion is that there is a huge "feel" difference. It seems that all maple usually has a bulkier feel and Rosewood necks tend to feel slimmer. But thats just me.

What I would like more is for people to recognize that some users play wide open with a pick. ...and for heaven's sake...run the recording through protools and be in tune!

I just do the Dimarzio clip lock strap thing. You literally screw the strap to the bass. No bullcrap about it. They're reliable. They cost around $20. Which is cheaper than paying $25 for locks and then another $20 for a decent strap. Other than that...my vote goes to Schallers. But get the...

This thing looks nice! What woods are used on this bass?

I'm absolutely protective of my amps and electronics. But if they ask and I find them to be knowledgable and responsible then sure...they can borrow it. On the other hand...if they don't don't ask..then thats a no-no regardless. But just say that you're not comfortable with others using your...

Try Bore oil. Its used to clean clarinets. Its cheaper, does the job better, and lasts longer than lemon oil. Just put 1 drop in each fret space and wipe with a polishing cloth. Works great on dark fretboards like rosewood or ebony.

sorry for the double post..but yes. I have buds who work at a GC.

My intention wasn't to bash the Line6, it was just what I came up with for an example...but I was hoping we would all just see the point.

I know your pain all too well

The thing about GC is this...they're not going to hire people who actually know about the gear that they sell. They want people who they can mold to be pure salesmen. Because they will make more money selling the Line6 to the aspiring musician than the Mesa and say "Oh yeah..you can sound just...

Thats pretty crappy to waste your parent's money like that. Bass strings aren't cheap. The money they would spend equals a tank of gas they can use to do the things that are important..like get to THEIR JOBS.

Really...you guys are going to compare Blink 182 to Rush? REALLY? Idiotic. Thats the equivalent to comparing a death metal drummer to a jazz drummer. 2 totally different worlds and styles. Look...its cool if you guys don't like pop punk and wank in your bedrooms to a crappy Billy Sheehan solo...

The new models looks SICK! I really enjoy mine. Its one of the original models in Daphne Blue. I wish I could mod mine to look like his Marktopus model(i think its called). It just reminds me of middle school and skateboarding to Blink albums in my garage. Good times. Mark Hoppus is a...

Cost of strings. Watching bass demos in which they only use slap style and finger style..and if they DO use a pick its palm muted. :rollno: Bassists that over play. Bad attitudes from older players. :scowl: Spiders.

I actually based my purchase of a EBMM from playing a SBMM. I thought if their affordable line sounds and feels this good...then the real thing must be killer..and sure enough... I totally recommend SBMM to anyone with a $600 budget for sure.

Type O Negative XD

Either Stainless DR's or D'Addario Pro Steels.

I'm a pretty big Warwick fan..but after every Rockbass I've played I ended up disappointed. I thought the Schecter Stilletto 4 was pretty nice.

I know what you're going through. I recently downgraded from an 8x10 to a 6x10 for portability reasons.

/facepalm I didn't even bother to read half of this thread If you're complaining and being snobby bc you're too close minded to play in a drop tuning other than standard E...then you simply "just don't get it" and you're most likely playing songs that are too high out of your vocalist's...

I made a small, tool kit bag: Allen key (trussrod) Screwdriver, extra screws/parts Extra strap Cleaning cloth Extra cable. Extra picks

Whats great to use is Bore oil used for clarinets. A little goes a loooooong way...im talking 1 drop per fret space.

Eh...most Warwick fans are just snooty about their Wenge and Ovangol features. (guilty) And I'm sure its the concept of Squier/MIM vs MIA Fender. But I think Warwick needs to calm down about their prices though. I played an older Rockbass Streamer the other day. Its was ok...its what I...

I love my Mark Hoppus bass...its a MIM Fender with MIA features (string thru bridge, upgraded pickups). It has best of both worlds. I like MIA Fenders as much as the next guy but I think they're over priced for what they really are. Especially if its for a piece of alder and maple/rosewood. :hmm:

+1 :smug:

In my opinion, its better to have a great musician that can make crappy gear sound good rather than have a crappy musician with good gear that still sound bad.

Scott Pilgrim was a terrific movie probably the best I've seen this year...but hey, at least there were bass solo's in this movie..unlike others *cough School of Rock *cough

The clips on my Corvette broke as well...so I'm taking a look at a brass Just A Nut 3

I'm hoping I can get some suggestions on how to resolve my problem..(yes I did a search) I have an 8x10 cabinet and it seems when I play certain notes, the speakers flutter. Mostly when I play the 9th fret on my 4th string (drop C# tuning) and it sounds terrible. What can I do to fix this...

You should check out a tuner called Polytune by TC Electronic. It costs as much as your boss pedal but its way better. What makes it cool is that (as implied in the name) you can strum all your strings and it will show up in a grid whether your strings are flat/sharp/in tune as well as the...
