yes he did.

that's awesome i had no idea holy crap my life is different

I'm kind of ashamed to say that mine is a Squier Jag bass. A close runner up is the Fender Duosonic HS, and in third place is the Squier J. Mascis JM.

If I were to rround out a top 5, I'd put the Ibanez SRX400 in fourth and the Fender American Elite Jazz Bass in 5th, just because I felt like the neck was far too thick.

yeah i'm from new york

idk what the fuck is going on

i don't even have twitter

that's not me XD

idk WHO THE FUCK THAT IS

also i am NOT from minnesota XD

yes it is my own. why do you ask?

edit. WTF I DIDNT POST THAT

@me

yeah, that's true. uniqueness is key and being poor is a good way to spark creativity.

good luck.

cool! you're an awesome resource.

i was talking about uses, but thanks for this too XD

thnx jim. i think the marshall emulator on the one I use (a native one) is pretty good. short of an actual marshall, I don't know if there are better. ill look into your recommendations.

How do you feel about using amp plugins to record? Which is your favorite? I like the Komplete Guitar Rig Player 5.

well lucky you. i had KFC for dinner and my lead guitarist is passed out on my couch. he smells like jack daniels.

yes it's torture! all i want is some goddamn decent gear and the lowest-priced Marshall tube we could find was $600, and then we went to look at a Boogie, but forget about that.

yes. i used the tube at my rich friend's house. we record with tube amp emulators and play live with our solid states. we're saving for a marshall 800 right now.

yes, for my purposes it usually is a brighter guitar. blues, lighter punk, etc. for my Black Flag shit we (my band) run solid-states with pedals.

i dunno, if you run a naturally bright guitar through it, it sounds brighter.

disagree. his music is WAY different.

cool!! amps are fun. my favorite "crunch" amp is an orange for sure.

glad I didn't answer this, I would have said G5422G-6 because logic.

Marshall!

yeah but it asks you to drag them in the order you like them. for example, i want basses first but in the default order they go after my amps and pedals.

i can, and it won't let me drag the categories.

every person who speaks english as a second language on this site speaks better than I do.

i actually agree with indieman here. the strat has always sounded thicker to me, fuller in tone and less twangy. Not lacking twang, but less than the Tele. i really dislike Teles, as I find them uncomfortable, but when I need a country ass tone or some blues shit you will find me asking the tallest GC guy to please help me reach that Thinline up there.

YES! ugh the neck is so nice and i am obsessed with p90s

got it. :)

love the j mascis.

i prefer, in this order:

1. super sonic
2. bassbreaker
3. deluxe reverb

thanks for the paragraph jim! helpful as always.

i will NOT leave my strings on for 17 years, but I do have a question about restringing to a heavier gauge.

1. I'll need to refine the nut, won't I?
2. What gauge should I use for (absolute lowest) Drop B?

DUMB BLOOD by VANT, and there are probably others I'm forgetting. I feel like this year is gonna be lackluster, but last year was a great year.

on my 34" ibanez, i have some Ernie Ball Super Slinkys (I forget the gauge).

on my 30" squier, i have stock strings on. i was thinking about ghx bass boomers, as they've got the gauge i'm looking for, or maybe a DR set.

I've not done it in a year and a half for one, and I got the other four months ago, so it should be fine. What do you think is the best time to restring?

EDIT: For bass, though guitar info is always welcome.

fairly certain you're right, but the casino might be a 330 copy.

not comparing.

i do think some of them are (almost) equal but not really.

Hm. That is true, I hate high actions in general. Very, very low action is very, very good for me.

that said, there was this one Epiphone.

it was a mess. a Epi Les Paul Studio on the lowest rack at a Guitar Center. the first three frets and the entire second half of the fretboard was dead. The E string broke when I played it.

i was upset.

i love it!

that said, I dislike Gibbys nd Epis. I think they have too high actions from the factory.

Definitely NOT a Gibson/Epi, then. I only play higher end Epis and I haven't found a quality issue yet. A couple Fenders have been damaged in store by the fucking metal gang who like to bash the Fenders so no one can enjoy them while they break the glass doors by playing a Jackson Rhoads into a Marshall at full voume and gain.
