Bass of Glory

Well it's two in the morning and i've just finished studying for chem tomorrow...i've noticed that i've been staying up late, sometimes till four just to study for the test the next day. So why is it that our school has to have four class tests every year when most of the other only need two exams. This year's class test 4 is so close to our finals that they might as well cancel it and let us have more time to study for finals...what a waste of time.

Anyway today was a great day. Why? Because i have finally gotten my bass! I went to the guitar store when school ended to collect it...after four months of searching, comparing and pissing of store owners i have finally decided on the yamaha. I picked the yamaha because it was more versatile than the ibanez, being able to handle blues, jazz and rock while the ibanez was designed more as a rock bass. Still, i thi
nk i would've been happy with the ibanez as well...xD Some of you might look down on yamaha basses, saying that their not mainstream and that guitars and basses isnt yamaha's thing, but you're wrong: yamaha makes really good basses. Why else then would some of the world's best, like Dream Theatre's and Incubus' bassists use yamahas? This BB614 plays like a dream, its playability even beat Azri's rm4.5k LTD bass. I also got a 65 Watt Ibanez Soundwave amp, which sounds good but will probably be too big to carry around. The retail price of the bass was about rm2k but i managed to get it for 1.7...the amp at around rm800. The Gator hard case was about rm280 so i got everything for rm2780 which is quite a good deal.
Hmm i think i'll go to bed now......finals are gonna kill me.
