My Ibanez 5-string, which is nearly ten years old, just isn't cutting the mustard anymore, the frets are worn down to splinters, the electronics barely work anymore, and the control cavity is full of a decade's worth of blood, sweat, and semen.
I needed something that could take a beating and has low end that still cuts through an entire pedalboard's worth of effects. I wish it wasn't so conservative-looking (neon green or something similar would have been preferable) but if I ever get a more conservative gig it won't look ridiculous.
Either, plays great, sounds great. Another new toy!

Not bad. You got any 6 string basses, too?

No. I think those are unnecessary. I have a seven-string guitar too, so anything that I would compose for a six-string bass I'd simply write for the guitar. I think these guys that have crazy 8-string, 10-string, 20-string basses look like assholes and play really sterile, excremental music. When I play bass in a band, I fucking play the
bass. If I want to play super-technical upper-register stuff, I'll just play a guitar or a keyboard.

I want to get me a 6 string bass
the bass player in Porphyria played a 7 string bass, and they were just death metal. He played what they played on their 7 string guitars

That might be interesting.
Truth be told, a six-string bass is just too wide for me anyway. I don't have huge hands.

Definitely. LTD's aren't bad instruments.

If it's free, take it. If you hate it, you can always sell it.

Nice axe. I'm more than pleased with my Schecter. They make quality shit for being mass produced/korean.

How did you get semen in your bass?

I asked about Schecter basses here before but only heard bad things!

What's a good bass for like $100?
I don't want to do anything serious with a bass, just fuck around, possibly record some backup to some riffs and things I write.

You need to come to one of my shows and it will all become obvious!

Do you have someplace on your bass to plug your wiener into it?

Yeah, the soundhole.
