out for delivery - 20th SR5

[phatduckk]

she's on her way. woot! cant wait to see it in person.

oh man - this extra string thing is a bit intimidating

 

[mynan]

You're gonna love the extra string. There's nothing like it, especially on a slower song when you're about to go up to D and think "no, I'm gonna go low this time" and it shakes the whole building.

hmmm... slow? like at 180bpm?

 

[mynan]

I don't know. I don't think I could play that slow...

 

[bovinehost]

Kind of hard to imagine Arin playing slow and sweet, some nice Celine Dion ballad or something.......

 

[Drmckool]

i own one and it's such a good bass

 

[phatduckk]

its true... i dont play slow. thats just due to how i started out. i started playing by learning lots of metal songs so i just started playing fast cuz thats what the bands i was listening to did.

the last few months tho ive slowed down while i practice at home. its wasnt easy at first... id just get bored but ive stuck with it and its a different kind of fun. ive actually lost some of my speed due to this but about 30 minutes of warming gets me back up there. but before i could just grab a bass and go.

whatever really - bass is fun. fast slow, pick, fingers, slap bla bla ill never be famous. i just wanna have a good time

 

[mynan]

Funny how that went from "slower" to "slow" to "slow and sweet".

I don't think I would play a 5er if I was in the 140bpm-and-up range most of the time. It can be a pain in the a$$ on a 5er, especially without a pick.

I don't think I would play a 5er if I was always in the 140bpm-and-up range most of the time. It can be a pain in the a$$ on a 5er, especially without a pick.

im expanding my herizons dude. no but seriously - ive been stretching beyond punk rock and metal and all that for a lil while now. its fun to have new stuff youve never tried... and a 5 string just adds a ton more to learn into the mix

HA remember the ordeal from the 20th silo? he ignored delivery for 2 day. eh

[bovinehost]

He called me and said, "Those tops suck, let him wait."

 

[Dr Stankface]

I would personally escort this fine UPS man to the nearest telephone pole and ram his head into it.

 

[phatduckk]
