hi, I personally find 17mm to be the best spacing on a 4 strings especially for fast slapping and fingerstyle. The big advantage from my point of view is that with tighter spacing your fingers are more in touch with the strings and you can slap really fast. But you have to learn to play light. Get used to it and you'll love it...well, I do
On a fretted, I assume he means no inlays or positions markers
On fl, same criteria I guess, no lines if possible
The Cirrus looks like it has an inlay at the 12th.
But the Valenti is eligible
edited to add my family heirloom cream P Bass that's stashed back at the folks' house^
That sir, is one badass collection..love the Rays and the Wals....man after my own heart.
haha thanks, found it cheaply for like $10 at walmart, and it feels really confortable actually.
Better than my leather one with spikes that rubs against my neck, it's horrible lol.
Not so much ashamed, it is like, I am running the lowest quality gear and everyone here is running with top of the line lol.
Don't be ashamed dude! My gear is pretty cheap by the standards here, but it's the best I could afford (and almost broke the bank of the Evil Undead, yeah)
Be proud, it's yours and if you love it then that's all that matters
That's true.
I mean, at least I got gear that I can actually play shows with.
a 4x10 stack is better than a 1x6 first act combo ;D

I want names and brands!
EDIT: What the heck happened to the other photo? It had tons of cool stuff in it....

I'm seeing all Fender except for the black acoustic sitting in the corner. Could be wrong but there's no denying the headstock.

^^^This^^^
The Cirrus does have a "C" inlay at the 12th fret. The Valenti, however, is as nekkid as a jaybird.
Here are some updated pictures of the family, and some solo shots. I love posting my basses, I have worked very hard to get to where I am gear wise.
( Its got a Hipshot A style, Drop D Xtender, and Sadowsky knobs )
I might be getting into a VERY well paying band in the coming weeks, so Im hoping to save for a Jazz of some kind. I miss slapping and bright finger tone, but my P feels and sounds too darn good to change!
what happened to the VM Squier?
Well hopefully you can land a MM Jazz or a CIJ or MIA Jazz Bass in the future .. Who knows maybe even a Sadowsky?
