No, not "Heart of Darkness"

I've...I've...I've crossed over!

That's right.  I am now an owner of a bass.  Ahhh!



I like. :)

It's an Ibanex GAXB150 (http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=GAXB150).  It's a bit smaller in scale which sacrifices a some tone, but I figured that was better than having my little fingers die.

Besides, the guy at Guitar Center gave me $30 off of an already cheap price ($160) because of a little chip on the side of it.  Someone probably hit it/dropped it while trying it out, but hey, it doesn't really affect the sound, so  :thumbsup:

>>Rickenbacker

beutifull basses, but that big metal bar gets in the way of slap bass.

Another vote for Rickys. Damn though, you need big hands to play one!
