Stick around Joe. Even if you only use their strings, sooner or later you'll try out an EBMM guitar or bass and want one. And then another. And another. The G.A.S. (guitar acquisition syndrome) around here is not only larger than life, it's also contagious.
There are always interesting topics of discussion that you can read up on even if you don't have a comment. The community here is great and everyone - I mean everyone - is willing to share their tips and hard earned knowledge so ask questions and post when you can.
