After reading this thread, I'm even more likely to buy an Evo II 180 Combo, but just need to decide on 12'' or 15'' speaker............

[quote name='BigRedX' post='897948' date='Jul 18 2010, 12:00 PM']Just goes to prove that there is no definitive string choice. Only the one that's right for your playing style on a particular bass.[/quote] On each of my guitars, I've been through at least 5 brands on string (9 on one of them) before I found one that suited each guitar. So far, I've only had D'Adario's on my bass, but tis early days yet.

For now I'm using a Boss GT8 as a pre and a set of Logitech cheapo PC speakers (2.1 setup), its just about doing the job, until I get a job and am able to get a proper amp. I've been finding this thing rather comfy, although having a bass or guitar on my right leg hurts like hell (did my knee in a while back).

My first (and only) bass which I've only had a couple of months is an Epi Thunderbird. With a cheapo synthetic Ernie Ball strap, the neck dive was pretty bad, but I've now got a nice Levy's leather strap on it, which is rather wide and padded, so not much of an issue. More of an issue is not having a bass amp, and even more of an issue is not having the money for a bass amp right now. Doesn't stop me loving my T'Bird though.

Hello everybody, a new bassist here. Been playing guitar for a few years (6, I think) and decided that I wanted to get a bass, mostly just to see if I was any good with a bass and for some more variety. So I bought an Epi Thunderbird (pics in a mo) off a housemate. I am currently a (poor) student, living between North Wales (parents place) and Plymouth. I've gotten bored with the various guitar forums I've been a member of, but happened across this one by chance when looking for info on bass amps (don't have one yet) and thought I'd poke my head round the door.
