ankhtahr:
I never played a bass. But I'm a classical guitarist, so I guess I'll get used to it relatively quickly.
Patrick:
1. Playing bass is sick as fuck, do it.
2. 5-string basses aren't SO different, they just have a wider neck and an extra string.
3. Playing electric guitar with strictly your fingers is sick as fuck, do it.
ankhtahr:
I'll buy the bass as soon as I have the money to spare. And then I will follow your advice No.1. Until then I'll follow your third advice. The only picks that I actually liked so far are small 0.96mm celluloid teardrop picks:
But usually I'll just play the way I was tought. With my fingernails:
Thirteen years of classical guitar have left their impression on me. I actually can't imagine not having long fingernails on my right hand anymore.

This is my modus operandi.
I'm like a shitty Mark Knopfler!
So I got addictive drums 2, it's fun.
Also I bought a new mixer. It can output ten channels separately to my PC through firewire simultaneously, which makes recording much less of a hassle than my M-audio fast track with a broken line input did.
This coupled with the line out on my amp and hopefully some new condenser mics in the very near future makes it beautiful.
Oh, and here's the first recording of my new amp and the modded strat I put images of here recently.
There's a big muff on the rhythm guitar, but the lead is purely the strat through my amp with all pickups switched on and at max volume.
As always, the recording is slapdash because I'm lazy, but it gives you a good idea of the sound.

I also got one of those fancy guitar racks
Detachable Felix:
I am a big fan of your set-up, Phil. (Y)
Gonna be doing a bunch of recording today because I have an interview for a sound-engineering degree, so expect some pics of my current recording setup
