I sometimes worry that's going to be the case with the Dunwich. And that's why I'm aiming for the most amount of versatility and practicalities possible, so that the chances of not playing it enough goes down greatly. You'll regret it. You've been saying you regretting selling your previous ones in the past for over a year now. Then you got two in one go. Yeah, I definitely lucked up with getting two of them less than 36 hours apart. I would love to keep the MK120 but as long as I have the 2204 and Soldano, the Redbear will always be 3rd in line. I just found out that the holter monitor I had to wear the other day is going to be a $573 charge. That is just one part of the total charge that I'll have coming in from my visit to the ER and primary physician follow up appointment. I imagine it'll end up being somewhere close to $1,800 total. {censored}ing sucks but it'll work its way out in the end I suppose. It always does. Originally Posted by t-rey That sucks.

This thing is freaking sweet; I absolutely love the neck, the WRHB is pretty sweet and the balance / fit n finish are wonderful. The only issue so far is the pickups are mismatched, the WRHB is way hotter then the bridge pickup, and it could use compensated saddles for intonation but so far its setup pretty good. I also got a modded out MIM p-bass as part of the deal (SD 1/4lb's, badass 2 bridge, hipshot d-tuner), all in all a damn good weekend. Hot nasty, sir. Hot nasty indeed.

The P-bass is the most bad ass and versatile bass for rock music ever created IMHO. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AngryGoldfish Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 conky, I hear ya, man. Does anyone else find that—and this is not meant to insult—bass guitars in a traditional guitar shape don't look right? I dunno, but I can't get into bass guitar with a Les Paul body. When I think of bass shapes I think of Fender, Rickenbacker, Framus, etc. I understand that it's what I've grown up with and become accustomed to—and subsequently hated everything else—but I definitely think that the Les Paul looks infinitely better with a six-string electric guitar neck over a bass. I prefer bass guitars with huge horns and definitely in a double cutaway format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no i definitely agree, it also seems that most guitars turned basses have bodies that are way too small, they seem disproportionate and awkward. Originally Posted by conky Thanks man. I'm the same way... when I think of a bass guitar, I think of a P bass. As do I, its the most basic and most gutteral bass and usually the first one that pops into anyones mind when they think of a bass. Usually followed by a J-Bass and then a 4001.

Members AngryGoldfish Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 I can't play bass very well. I've tried it a few times, but I just end up playing it like a guitar, which never really works (and that's another reason why I dislike bass guitars with an electric guitar body, because it's too much of the same thing, and not unique from each other and separate). I always preferred the way bass guitars sounded, but I never felt at home with one when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
