Oh. Then it’s more of a string it to what you’d like. For me, my fives are strung BEADG.

Yes. Well until I buy a 5er anyway5 strings is not a bass, 4 are. So i say.
How about 6? I was checking out an Ibanez 6 string bass hanging on the wall of my kids’ music school today. I wanted to take it down and plug it in and give it a try. I’d have one just to have one but I’m certain I’d never need one.![]()

I have been on the fence a few times about whether I could use one or not, its been so long since Ive balanced that fence that I am as of recently in the belief that if I dont have one by now than I guess I dont need one.5 strings is not a bass, 4 are. So i say.

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.That’s pretty funny out of context.
My eyes search between parts to eyes to parts to eyes to parts to eyes to see if she is on to me as I keep checking where her eyes are at and I still get busted. Happens more often than I want it to unfortunately.Getting caught making eye contact is a bit awkward or embarrassing, but its the gazing at other body parts that'll get you in trouble.![]()
