the official "Show your basses" thread part 11

Haha, what do you mean? I'm confused.

And it does! I'm loving the 5er.

I think its just because when I play I dig in hard, and look like Im playing. You just have such a light touch, it looks like youre barely touching the strings! As I said, Im just pickin on you.

I'm afraid I'll hurt the bass!

I don't want to hurt things I'm in love with.

the Marco sounds great!!!

And, more importantly, IMHO, plucking hard all the time gives you one sound, where as plucking lightly gives you control over your dynamics, and if you feel like it, you can throw in some hard attacks.

I would post my baby on the dark side, but they don't have a topic like this

I'll try to get me a nice Fender tomorrow @ music school.... mwahahahahaha

I'll just sneak my teacher's bass in my DB bag... hope he won't notice

 

[Darkstrike]

Post your DB, other people have posted pics with them in it, I'd love to see it...

don't know for sure, bought her for 2400€, insured her for 10K€ to be on the safe side, the truth will be somewhere in the middle

I bought the bass in december, and still have some costs ahead of me... there's a crack in the front (near the end of the tailpiece), and one of the seems opened up again... but nothing too serious

thanks @ Darkstrike & AaronD

here are some picture of my basses

my customized fender P bass, birds eye maple neck with ebony fretbord (Jazz style neck), badass bridge, and Seymour Duncan quarter pounders pickups, changed the pick guard too.

this is a picture before i made the new modifications on my fender. i used to have EMGHZ in there but i took them out. i also did a little experiment with defreting the original neck, i didn't care for it so i bought a new neck.

my John Myung Signature 6 string bass

JM signature and my Hartke 8x10 refrigerator (lol)

and heres a picture of my Warwick Corvette 4 string

Hey?! Do I smell bass project here? That thing is seriously screaming for Darkstars or some EMGs.

Your gonna convert it to where with a strap though - right? And if you need any help doing a relic job on that baby... or wait. No! Just go straight for the refin. Reranch has definitely got the colors you'll need.

Seriously. And don't forget the tort or the perloid pickguard. You seriously gotta go with the tort though.
