yeah and the sterling costs 4 times as much as the olp and suck more, lol.

But craftsman jbasses are pretty not bad .

dude, if u're referring to the 'girls' posted by thalmes, im really sorry to tell u... they're actually dudes...

dlwl: get an amplug by vox

ck music, last time they had a sale, each amplug only rm120 or less, cannot remember.

seems like my pinky is way stronger and more flexible than my ring finger. my ring finger seems to be too stiff and too connected to the middle finger, reducing its flexibility, making fast passages especially those dat include chromatics very very difficult and impossible. any solutions?

jcyh: expensive la, and u knw hw poor i am now..

lordie: guide me, wat kind of exercises or practice did u do to make all ur 4 fingers so strong and fast? chromatics scales?

such humility..

Erm, i agree with lordie, if u're going to get the bacchus, and the stock pups really dat kick ass, i think u shud just upgrade the preamp to like an audere or aguilar. but if u want a different sound characteristic (coz dat's wat pups are for) get a dimarzio model J. or ultra jazz. ive seen one sx bass with model J fitted on board before, and it sounded awesome.

erm, i kena owned by guitarists too many times adee, i cannot agree with dat

haha, good one

lordie: where to get the VT? and hw much?

thalmes! i beg u to try DR on the bacchus!

lordie: thanks for the vid man.. the VT is very pricey indeed, and not really my kind of taste, but definitely a good outboard pre.

thalmes: try the low riders or the high beam . or if u want ur bacchus to look kick ass, put some black beauties . might actually look more brutal

jcyh: ur swr LA very yummy, and nice mods on the ibby gio, hehe. look so much better with black satin neck.

yeah, but erm, if like dat, try red devils . red strings, surely look awesome

@stealth: DR flatwounds, or if u really need that extra oomph, try thomastik flatwounds, probably can order from cherns @ reddotmusic.
http://rdmgear.com/thomastik-infeld-strings-bass/

do check out his site if u're looking for audere preamps as well.

@stealth: DR flats can get from js music ar, the thomastik infield, prolly can get only frm cherns, even south americans buy frm him, coz they're so cheap. and u just have to bear the shipping only.

@thalmes: i dun see why a colored string wud affect the tone, if only monny's still active here, if im nt mistaken, he tried the black beauty on his sx.

i have a huge problem with elixirs, darn disappointed for such expensive strings. shud've gotten DRs instead.. i do like elixirs on acoustic guitars, just not basses...

mysterious dr x, do u read taugeh? if not, and if u're going the jazzy way, i think it's best that u learn some jazz time signatures and taugeh reading. but if u're lazy, like me, just learn some jazz scales or jazz progression, like the famous 2-5-1. Then only start looking for jazz songs to practice on. it's more healthy than straight jumping into like say, a tokyo jihen song, having no idea wat they're playing and just memorizing the tabs or watever.

Jaco pastorius is a great player to study. Especially if u're into harmonics and all dat stuff.

try to find on youtube got one crazy dude stress test his DR strings, tuned to extreme tension until finally only the string snapped, lol.

Great choice, mr thalmes. Hopefully ur bacchus arrives soon, cant wait to see the pictures and ur youtube videos hehe. and u will be the first in this forum to have a bacchus rite?

200 times easier than changing a floating tremolo bridged guitar . just make sure u cut ur strings properly so as to not get a huge loop like an acorn on ur tuner and nt too short until u cannot even drop D.

bass pod xt? if u plan to try out electric guitar as well, get the pod x3L, multiple channels for bass, electric guitar and vox. worth the cash since u're so rich! hehehhe
