    Taylor Swift On the Music Business...

    Man, if people can relate to any lyrics it would be those of Taylor Swift. They're straight to the point, and most deal with love, which is a huge part of most peoples lives. Especially kids and teens. Not everyone wants lyrics that need to be deciphered. The simpler the better, most of the...

    Help with life? (From that 18 yr old who moved to Sweden alone)

    I've never done this, but I can imagine most people would want to make some sort of contract, even for just a room. But there are plenty of ads pretty much everywhere in the country, though it's not uncommon for a room going for 5000SEK or more (aprox $750). I don't know how much you're getting...

    Why are you happy right now?

    I have enormous GAS for a Fender Coronado bass. 30.5" of semi-hollow, thumpy awesome. God, I'm not gonna be able to sleep. Can't stop thinking about one of these with flats and a piece of foam in the bridge.

    There's an MIA Jaguar bass now.

    Fantastic tone in a new format is what is appealing. I'm no Fender historian, but as far as I know there haven't been any American Fender Jags for quite some time, if ever. For MIA purists, this is very good news. Jaguar basses usually have aa JJ configuration, too. the PJ is what makes me...

    There's an MIA Jaguar bass now.

    I thought the existing ones were MIA, just low-end MIAs', kinda like the American Special series. They were considerably more expensive than other MIM models. I like that these have Precision pickups instead of 2 jazz'. If I had enough money that I could get one without it impacting my finances...

    Why are you happy right now?

    I got to see one of my favourite artists live for the first time. Though I was surrounded by extremely obnoxious, drunk and horny teens for the entire set. Mostly I was watching the bass player to see what gear he used and how he played the parts, some of the songs have really mysterious, muddy...

    PRS SE Basses

    Sorry, man, but a Schecter or Ibanez is not the exact same thing. I hardly think these basses are meant to be groundbreaking. The brands you listed generally don't cater to the same type of players that PRS do. Ibanez/Schecter has a lineup that is mostly comprised of modern style instruments...

    Why choose to play an ERG with more than 8 strings?

    I find saying that having the thumb behind the neck being the most ergonomical, safe and correct way to play is misleading. You get a much more neutral wrist position from putting your thumb slightly diagonal or above the neck. But whatever floats your boat. I personally pretty much only play...

    Best 5-string bass for around 500 USD (370 EUR)?

    Seems like the guy at GC didn't know how to intonate properly. It's easy, you could learn yourself in 30 minutes by googling. As for dialing in a good bass tone, it's all about the mids to not have it sound muddy. Especially low mids, they're essentially the balls of the tone.

    Does anyone on SSO like pop music?

    Pharrell is awesome :yesway: Don't feel bad, you're not going to be able to post anything mainstream pop on this forum without some insecure asshat negging you. Trust me, I've attempted both Katy Perry and One Direction threads :lol: Edit: Whaddya know, I got some red for my previous post in...

    Does anyone on SSO like pop music?

    I love pop music. 90% of the time when listening to music it's either soul or pop. I got tired of metal and found my place in pop. Lately I've been growing fond of Swedish pop, both old and new. Also a big fan of Katy Perry and the like. Definitely a fan of the new boy band craze with One...

    Why are you mad right now?

    I know the pain, unfortunately it'll probably stay this way for another couple of years until we get a new generation to run the stores. From my experience, shop owners lost their spark a long time ago and don't really care for new stuff anymore. Although I see more ERGs hanging around than...

    Why are you mad right now?

    Wat :lol: Ont: Bought a used Macbook Pro and everything went smoothly, super cool guy, then shipping decides to send it to the wrong side of the country. So while it was only 4 hours south from me at the time of shipping, it's now 10 hours south :wallbash: Should've had it thursday or friday...

    Gibson SG Bass

    I love 'em, contemplating buying one as my next bass. Since I already have an arsenal of standard basses I can get something fun this time. And as Temjin said, they're muddy, but can be extremely ballsy as well. Thinking about an EB3 with foam in the bridge and flats makes me salivate.

    Laptop Live Rig

    I would choose a Mac every day over a PC for live use, macbooks are generally built like tanks and very reliable from my experience. A good friend of mine has got a Lenovo, and from all the troubles he's having with it I can't recommend it. I understand a PC is more attractive due to the price...
