since the thread is so dead, i just wanted to say, i tried this bass, and it blew my mind. cant think of a bass as versatile and fun to play. Normally i have alot of problems with 5 stringers and active basses . But this one gives me none of those problems.

Check this out, is that a taranis she's holding?

nice thalmes, nailed the bass solo part already? used 3 or 2 fingers for right hand?

john myung's stamina is amazing btw, considering most of the songs are filled with 16th.

pluck 3 times, thalmes, hehe. myung is amaaazing, reason why i gave up trying to play panic attack properly, lol.

Yup, but really useful if u're into progressive, metal and all dat kind of stuff, hehe. Cheating technique is to use pick lo . No offense to pick players yea, just wat i normally do to cheat my way thru fast passages hehe. my right hand sucks.

hehe, all the best dude! i gave up on everything dreamtheatre except for their slow songs, haha.

Oh btw, if u guys are a bit too bored, watch this:

WillyC, so how did it sound with slap?

thalmes: u afraid u gonna snap the string is it? key is, dun takut, just go for it! hahaa. u use wat finger to pop? dun necessarily have to use index or middle, use wat's most comfortable. u got learn duplet slap adee? dat wud help with the popping for the time moment. u use duplet slap and pop once, keep practicing dat, eventually wont be a problem anymore. the duplet rite is once full note and once ghost note, then pop.

i dun think i've ever seen a mm bongo anywhere around malaysia. 1600p is quite a good price ar.

my sx didnt mod already sound and play better than 60% of fender j-basses i played, (some of them are actually the MIA ones).

@Naruki: *faints* oh my, what a great bass. Congrats mate

@Tamsin: Yup, but good practice for 4-4 beat. If you like something a bit more complicated, try Incubus' Anna Molly, Megalomaniac is good also, Pantomime, especially during the chorus where there is this minor descending lick, and the bridge. Can also try battlestar scratchlachtica (nt sure hw to spell it properly), very funky stuff.
