saw that too, but then i just couldn't find a good reason to change guitar for now or maybe future (i don't know).

1st reason as after i bought the new guitar, i would abandon the old one which kinda wasted and stuffs
2nd would be the current one is still working fine

my guitar skills comes in 3rd (which i don't really have the confidence to claim i'm good with it)

I have two basses currently.

I thought after getting my newest, toy, i would abandoned completely my first bass, but i do use it from time to time. Especially when ill be travelling in a plane for a gig.

By the way, what songs are you currently covering for bass?

Im covering Rancid's "Roots Radical". Matt Freeman is one of my bass heroes.

Ah..

Unlike others, I cover japans song: J-pop, J-rock, Vocaloid's

One of the bass hero that inspired me switching from drum to bass guitar at below(I still play drums currently, for years. It's just that a lot of factors that prohibited me to own one so I couldn't practice properly at all.)
Niconico (Japan's youtube-like) bass player, there are a lot more from there as my heroes (even heroine )



Because of him I really wanted to tryout a Warwick bass (or even own one)

But of course I do cover some english songs, bands like GnR,Metallica, Muse etc., but not all songs though as my skill's not there yet

A year plus since i pick up bass guitar, had proper class for just about 2-3 months only iirc and basically the rest are self learning. I still got a long way to go

+1

especially those big names specialised in bass

Leave it to the japs to make a simple pop song and have those bass lines.

I dont know much j-rock bands, but one japan band i like is Zazen Boys



Sadowsky, lakland, warwick and fedora (victor wooten's endorsed bass bran iinm) comes to mind.

Wew, funky

of all 4 brands, the only brand i never heard of is fedora bass

to tell you the truth, even i dont know why those brands are better. for me now my fender jazz bass is the best evah......untill i can appreciate even better quality basses.

Never experienced any of em' in real life, I can't tell either

Just curious, your jazz bass made in?

Just got my Cort C5H a couple of days ago. Plays awesome, but not as awesome as when i tried out a different one at TGSDP. Therefore, it needs a setup.



I had no experience with satin finishes before so i stupidly put wax on it. aiyoo....

US made. plays like a dream.

nice buy! two humbuckers eh? must growl like a beast!

what happened when you applied wax to it?

it got shiny, but uneven shiny, because i couldn't apply the wax to the hard to reach spots such as in between the pots or in between the pickups and bridge. I'm gonna send to a pro for setup, and get it waxed properly so that it looks proper. I like shine.

Yeah it growls like a beast. Just jammed to Lamb of God and Decapitated yesterday.

been itchy to try a 5-stringer sadowsky

dude!~

nice! just curious, what tuning do you use for that 5-stringer?

tried a 5 before, it felt a bit awkward for me at first to adjust to 5 strings. probably will revisit it some day.

MIJ or MIA? i think i saw one at the Guitar Store in Cheras KL.

All same tuning except there's a 5th B string. Same like 7 string guitar la.

don't care MIJ/MIA, as long as it feels like 5-stringer sq VMJB

or might just get that sq VMJB instead...
btw, my current bass is ibz SR300

Ahhhh you guys! Stop making me drooling with my Ibanez Gio beside me

btw guys, rust on the surface of pickups, are they fine?

ahh.....nice natural colour. always looks good with a fender bass or a music man stingray bass.

how much did you bought for your Ibanez SR300?

I really like the neck of ibanez basses. really comfortable when i was picking up bass for the first time.

even though i have upgraded, i still play around with my Gio. kacang tak lupakan kulit yo!

i now mao tukar kulit pon tak boleh

slowly but surely.

develop skills in the meantime.

aite aite

btw, ask again lel, rust on the surface of the pickups, is it okay?
