This... is actually pretty much exactly my opinion.Bridge and pickup covers for anything with 4 strings if possible. However I think fender covers offer the exact areas of the string Id pluck anyway without them.
6 stringers needs the openness of no covers.
I'm the opposite. I started as a pick-only player. Now I play mostly with fingers, still occasionally with pick if the part needs one. There are some things that I haven't figured out how to do with fingers really well.Didn't use a pick for the first 9 years I played bass but made the switch last winter and haven't looked back. I like the extra attack I get.
Lol, I still don't play as well with them, either. Just, for Catapult stuff mostly works better with fingers.I prefer a pick. Admittedly, I don't play as well with my fingers.
Man, I'd love to have a V63.Gave it a clean up today, plugged it into the wall, and it powers up! The guy who gave it to me said some tweaker left it at his house years back and almost certainly doesn't even remember it's there, so I could have it. He also said it it didn't work, but I'm willing to bet he didn't know that you couldn't just plug an instrument straight into it. So any of you KVLTists (@mc_muench ) have any info or recommendations on using this thing? It was covered in Cthulu-knows how many years of grime, but it's actually pretty clean with a scrub and some Pledge. Insides full of spider webs so I'll get around to cleaning it some other time. Thing has a cantaloupe of a transformer in it, and some of the biggest can caps I've ever seen.

Also might snag a good deal on a 4001v63 in a couple weeks, if I can swing it financially.
What's the difference?Splitting off from this vital dairy anthropology and genetics discussion,
Do you guys reckon using a hollow or semi-hollowbody for doom would result in:
A) Awesome amounts of feedback and doominess
or
B) Uncontrollable, horrible feedback that kills everyone in the near vicinity?
My fretless acoustic actually hangs quite well with acoustic guitar.I tried an acoustic bass once at war volume: impossible feedback. Feedback That overcomes any fuzz dirt tone etc. Very disappointing considering acoustics can't hang acoustically either. Almost worthless instruments, even if at intermediate volumes they sound killer.
I need to stay away from the Warmoth site.
it's the last piece of gear i'd part with. Squier VM, and a good oneJust sell me the amber P bass in yer avatar, then you haves more Warmoth monies.

Well here she is... Just a year shy of being old enough to drink. Clear coat is far from flawless, but it sure is a player.

Nah, too crowded, also too much death metal, for me to want to be on acid or anything.Please tell me you dropped some acid.
