Bassists do it lower

[ComedyPilot]

I'm in a transitionary period at the moment. Started playing a couple of years ago with the Squier, and now feel drawn to n+1 (bass). Looking at Ibanez or Warwick - but open to suggestions, just want a 5 string to gimme access to the "LOW B"

Cab-wise I do like the Mark Bass, but also like the look and sound of Hartke, Gallien Krueger and Orange.

Christ, I thought bikes and skydiving were bottomless money pits......

...ah come on....you guys only have to change 4 strings at a time...and then only once every 10 years

 

[threebikesmcginty]

...and only tune it once a year if it needs it or not.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

...and you get to save a fortune on cool clothes

and smell

..not to mention the savings in dating all the hot 'chicks'

BOAB, I'm surprised an axe-god like you can spare time from the 'Lead guitarist'** thread to come in here and take the p*ss...



** Oh, there isn't one.........

I may be the only guitarist who believes the bass player is what rocks a band....a really good solid bass player is hard to find. As a guitarist I want a bass player to lock tight with the drums for sure but also fill out the sound behind me under solos etc (yes the solo is more important than anything lol!) ...but I also want the bass player to add to the melody/atmosphere....too often bass players forget just how crucial they are to making us lead guitarists look great

I'm with you.
You don't always notice a good bass player (or drummer for that matter) but bloomin' 'eck you notice a bad one!

I like those Mark Bass amps....each time I've played with a bass player with one of those little boxes the floor shook and I left the rehearsal room feeling like I'd done 15 rounds with Myke Tyson.

I've never had my orange head louder than 1.5! The Mark Bass cab is SO light!

I love the Mark Bass cab but their logo is sheeeeeeeet!

How do you confuse a bassist?

Put one of his strings ôut of tune but don't tell him which one...

 

[BigonaBianchi]

...yeah..like they'd notice
