[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1320880107' post='1432828'] That is remarkably polished for a home recording, personally I think your bass sounds fine. Good job! [/quote] +1 usually I start with some grooves and develop a chord progression and/or melody...

here is my 1965 Guild Starfire 1 with original bridge Hagstrom Bisonic and 1970 added neck Bisonic:

[quote name='silddx' post='1348456' date='Aug 22 2011, 09:45 PM'].. that this quest for the perfect bass bullshit, is BULLSHIT! Being on basschat has somewhat corrupted my thinking, that I need a bass that's perfect for me. I don't. I need a good bass, good strings, and my brain. That is all. I've been playing, not talking, and I have found out that all I need is a decent bass. There is little difference between any of the basses I have had, only practical things. Playing and thinking about music has shown me that any decent bass will do. I've talked about bass far too long. When you actually PLAY, you start getting a more real connection with yourself, and the instrument itself becomes less and less important. Your LIFE is what is important. Live it and you will speak though your bass.[/quote] +1

Yes, I'm very happy with my rigs. They amplify all of my basses the way I love.

thanks for the warm welcome folks. @ gareth: aren't the 30x basses a bit heavy on the head side? I'd like to compare a 30x fl to my pilot fl one day. @ jan: +1 for st. pauli or guild basses?
