Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Basses only have 4 strings

LOL I have basses in a number of strings, including an older 7 string that's also from Ibanez. I've barely played that one and bought it just to add to the collection. I do not have a 3 string bass, but those also exist.

The main issue with a six or seven string is the limited number of companies that sell replacement sets.

Don't blame me. I don't make the rules - or the instruments!

I want to say I've even seen an 8 string, but can you imagine how expensive a set of strings would be?!? Fortunately, it's a bass - so they'll last forever and a day.

Do you go for smooth-wound strings? I love 'em on a bass, but I really haven't been able to get into bass since my last all-bass recording. I'll play if I have to. I did a lot of filling in on bass when I did a daily lunch gig at a jazz club. That made me appreciate the bass a bit more, and learn things like slap bass.
