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 .

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.

I like flatwounds, but for the music my band plays the sound isn't suitable for most songs, and I don't wanna switch between basses constantly. I use nickel roundwounds, and turn the treble very low. Neck pickup only.

--since I will never be able to slap like Davie 504, I never 'slap'. Do it right, or not at all, I say.

-Charles Berthoud vids are the opposite of inspiring, he makes me wanna quit.

That was the word I was looking for while drinking heavily last night. It was a day full of races, including the Bathurst 1000.

A quick look via Google says I have never heard of said Davie404, but I may take a few minutes to check out their work.

Davie 504 is a Italian bassist that makes a lot of videos. A lot is 'funny' crap, but he is an incredible player. Huge hands!

Charles Berthoud is the most astonishing bassist I ever heard, apart from MonoNeon.
