I need one.. not want one.. NEED! I want a Fender to play backup to my Rick and was thinking of a P/J but if the Geddy is really really nice (I'd buy one just to have anyway) then I'd get one of those first.

Nate... Get a Geddy. You'll love it!

Jeffrey... either "What About Bob" or "Analyze This"...?

I've learned a valuable lesson, guys. I've now imposed a beer limit before taking pictures.
What do you mean the Bass is too loud???

I've decided that it's the perfect counterpart (pun somewhat intended) to my 4001. A notch below in extension-of-my-hand factor.. but I'm growing to love it fast!

You nailed it Nate... I really don't like the look of 95% of Fenders... and then there's the bound and blocked Jazz...

Jeff... M.A.S.H.? (I'm reaching now...) Image

I don't know about going yet.. I still have a few problems going on with moving still. If I do get to go you better damn well bring it or I will be forced to KEEL YOU! Image

And if I do you I hope you guys will be able to stand me playing (and singing!) 'Earthshine' or 'Ceiling Unlimited'. Although considering you have flats on it I might have to do that with my Rick. I'll try and get my own by then lol.

AHA!!!! Image

I've been beaten...

As alot can attest, there isn't much you can do with rounds that you can't do with Chromes. It's all in the attack!

I tap lightly when doing Maiden stuff. It helps a ton because Steve never stops moving, so using the least amount of energy possible is the best way to go. When I play Rush though.. I smash the strings hard.

I know, I know, but if my basses are going to be Geddy signatures they gotta have roto's.

I was corrected by the ST expert in the family! The quote is from the movie 'First Contact' when the Borg are invading the ship.
