Does it bring the klank?

If you ever want to sell, I have a friend here who is interested, maybe.

Ben

It's just a smidge of klank on top of what is basically a P bass sound.

a smidge? nah...it brings the clank. you don't use metal picks though and those strings are a little worn (if you feel back towards the bridge on the E and A you can feel where i wore 'em flat with a stainless steel pick. the D and G are in the same condition, though milder, and more towards the neck)

i meant to send you a metal pick for shits and giggles. i went with that one pickup because i missed my p-bass. now i have yours, and i love it dearly, i may never part with it.

i play busbus's old p-bass. which looks like my old p-bass, but 20yrs older and somehow less worn. my old p-bass, which looks like busbus's old p-bass is somewhere in chicago. it's black, the pickup cover was painted gold, and it had a badass III bridge on it. if you see it, tell it i'm over it now.

I'm gonna eat this thread for breakfast come friday morning.

White one is a Gibson WRC custom shop. its got the sweetest neck ever. it's a Showcase Edition and is number 71 out of 200 made. I sold it during my divorce and 2 years later started looking for another. i bought it off ebay from Singapore. Same guitar. when i sold it it went to Malaysia. Serial number and my replacement switches gave it away. I wont part with it again!

Green one I made. (except the neck, Warmoth.) its a Kauri body with quilted maple top. Grover locking tuners and Graphtech nut. Seymour Duncan Blackouts active p/ups and a floyd rose. I'm pleased with it for a first try. I painted it too, as I'm a spraypainter by trade. gonna build me a badass black Flying Vee next i reckon!!!

Way to introduce yourself, nobody here will ever question a word you say, now that you've mentioned you play a Bean (unless you slap it).

Thanks man, and rest assured, my Bean isn't slapped, that's a nasty thought!

i kick the shit out of my 1000a and it takes it all. mind you it was already butchered when i got it. what are you a fucking pussy or something?

No way are you a fucking scaffolder, holmes. Seriously, level with us, are you the queen?

i couldn't honestly even afford to restring that amount of guitars. WTF??
