(edit) oh, and if anyone has any experience with these basses, or tips and tricks, please do enlighten me :D

You better bring that with you when you come down here :D

PLay with a flat hand. Resist the urge to arch your fingers or you will constantly play sharp on these things.

Also you will want to learn to fingerpluck softer than your normal electric bass :)

I had one of those things for about 3 years. Never liked it, but I got damn good on it during college, used it for a recital once... was kinda fun but I never liked the feel of it.

Oh yeah, you'll wanna use some talcum/baby power on your hands when you play... Im not kidding.

Post

cool guys - thanks :D

and sickle - you bet, it's tiny and the guy I bought it off threw in a case for it ;)

I'm not a bassplayer, and I'm still a rookie on guitar, but I really liked the idea of a massive wall of bass with the fretless action - so far it sounds incredible dry, I cant wait to try it out through some effects :o

and I will have to go out and get some powder... it is a bit sticky :D

hehe - yeah, I'm trusting sickle to do some serious ink work on me :o

once I know exactly when I'm coming down, we'll have to try and do a "KVR Southlands" event of some sort (if sickle wants to try and host something or at least recommend a bar for a meetup)

I know I'll be in the mood for some serious chaos ;) and the Wretch Stick will be coming too....

what's the nearest airport to you guys? it may be cheaper/quicker to just fly down there....

Atlanta.

If we have a meet, I'd recommend heading over to Bluedad's city, & get together at the Blue Monkey or some place like that..damn I haven't been to B-ham in months, every since I was released from drug court :D

That judge is bannanas..you know who I'm talking about, Bluedad, right? Judge Johnston?

What a f**king kook..

My city outright sucks tolly culture-wise..

Post

well, there's atlanta, birmingham..not sure if there's anything closer to sickle..unless you can land at the army base..
