I will never find the right one.

Nor was the civil war exactly civil.

Discuss.

I am in Atlanta this week, and one of my friends told me that some people here refer to it as "The War of Northern Aggression"

 

[AnthonyD]

Damn Yankees...

"The War of Northern Aggression"

Exactly.

Would you happen to be going to the Thrashers game tommorow?

If so, let me know. I'll be there.

 

[silverburst]

Probably can't make it. I've been fighting with a group of writers for 11 hours about high voltage safety, and it looks like tomorrow will be a repeat.

I need a drink. Or two.

I ,personally, like my basses to be very versatile. I want a warm smooth tone one second, with high action and flats on it [my idea for church]. But then I also like that Tinny Precision bass sound, with rounds and a heavy attack. [Punk rock side of me]. And next I like my bass to also sound aggressive with fingers, to me that calls for light rounds with Super low action. Similar to flea's tone.

There is no one bass that can do this due to the string type, action and gauge changes.

.........I just answered my own question, the only option is to have 3 basses!

There is nothing at all wrong with owning 3 (or more) basses... just ask anyone here!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Nothing wrong at all. I'll have 5 SR5s tommorow.

 

[bovinehost]

If owning five or six Bongos is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Hey, now....I've been out of the loop for a few weeks here! What's this all about, Andrew?? You're finally getting Heinz??

As the great George Carlin said, "What exactly is a civil war? 'Say, pardon me......*BLAM-BA-DA-BOOM*....I'm terribly sorry.'"

...personally I can get punk tones, smooth jazz, grooving rock, discobiscuit funk, bowel loosening slap and jaw shattering thump all on my bongo without having to change strings. a tweak here, a twiddle there (all of which have been covered on this forum!) and you're away...

....what a funny thread

In my case substitute "Sterling" for "Bongo" in the statement above and I agree totally... I won't say it's all in the fingers, but A LOT of it is...

Also, this thread is really making my head hurt! Can we stop now?

 

[spencer]

this is the longest thread I have ever started! May it never end!

 

[Big Poppa]

Oh spencer....the final stake......
