what do you bassists play?

hektik · Post by **hektik** » Wed Feb 16, 2005 8:05 pm

I play a spector ns2000/4 neckthru most of the time. I have a Peavey Grindbass BXP which I defretted. I don't play it that much, but it's cool to dink around on when I'm feeling black.

Look at it just begging to be caressed.

I really want a good Spector. When I play those at Guitar Center it makes me wish I had a dick like a 1/4" input plug so I could fuck it.

Aren't rics short scale basses? I played a short scale the other day and was lost, where the 7th fret usually is I was around the 12th

No.

hektik · Post by **hektik** » Thu Feb 17, 2005 8:55 pm

I thought they had 21 frets?

BassPhemy · Post by **BassPhemy** » Thu Feb 17, 2005 8:56 pm

Yes, but the fret placing isn't any different, I don't think.

hektik · Post by **hektik** » Thu Feb 17, 2005 8:58 pm

I don't know, I think different scale sizes make a difference. I am used to playing my spector, I don't need to look to see where I am, but I played a short scale ibanez the other day (well, shorter than mine [34"]), and I noticed everythign sounded WRONG, and I looked and I was in the middle of the neck.

Yamaha BB604.

Plays pretty damn good. I'm looking into getting a Fender Jazz, or possibly a Traben, however, I've heard nothing much about the latter. Anyone heard anything about them?
