Hey

Hey guys
I signed up the other day after reading a review about the ACG preamp, as I had a question to post, but after reading around a bit I found this is a pretty cool place, I'll probably stick around a while.
My name is Micah - I live over in Canada. I have been playing for about 5 years.
My bass is an Ibanez SR405 - not the greatest bass, but it has done me well. I am going to start playing in a bar band coming up soon, so I need a new bass, which will be a [url="http://www.warmoth.com/bass/bodies/pbass.cfm?fuseaction=include_pbass"]Warmoth swamp ash P-Bass body (with their 72 style pickguard)[/url] with a jazz bass neck (probably ebony on maple, but possible bloodwood on canary wood) and a custom [url="http://www.fralinpickups.com"]Fralin single coil P-Bass pickup[/url] in it. The colour will be [url="http://www.warmoth.com/paint/paint.cfm?fuseaction=metallic_spectrablue"] spectra blue[/url] with a white pickguard, for those interested. I may put in the ACG preamp but I am not sure yet.
The rest of my rig is a Markbass LittleMark II amp into their back ported 4x10 cab. I don't use much in the way of effects - just a BBE Sonic Stomp that is always on, then a [url="http://www.diamondpedals.com/products.html"]Diamond Fireburst distortion[/url] and a [url="http://www.diamondpedals.com/products/memorylane.html"]Diamond Memory Lane delay.[/url]

All the links in this post go to the products, as most of them mentioned are either American or Canadian companies, and I do not expect you all to know of Warmoth or Fralin pickups.

Hey Micah, another new guy here. Just wanted to say kudos for your choice of amps- MarkBass gear is so good! Haven't comeacross the pedals before- just off to check them out now. Hope your weekend's going well. Best regs, Spark, Japan.

Warmoth? As in the neck/body makers? Lindy Fralin? No, we've never heard of those Welcome aboard BTW.

You have excellent taste and a bass I will be berry jealous of (although I don't like blue). Fralin, lush. Jazz neck, lush. P body, lush.

What strings will you be using?

'elcome.

As I will be posting around here you guys will probably have to forgive my ignorance, as I don't know what makes it over to you guys and what doesn't.

I am not sure yet...I work at a guitar shop (just a small one) so I have a order of D'Addario half wounds coming in with our next string shipment, but I am not sure how I will like them. I have never tried half wounds before, and I have never used D'Addario bass strings, so we will see how it goes. I usually string my Ibanez with a 4 set of GHS Boomers, then use an Elixir for the 5th string.
