If it was an all-black color scheme I'd be inclined to agree about the SX. The red is kind of annoying.
Dunno what I'll go with. Tempted to try to find some other way to make my nice-ish guitar sound like a bass, instead of trying to make a cheap bass sound nice next to my geetar. (Micro POG?)
(Edit: Err. So either this all came off as trolling or the DE bboards are a lot more quiet than I remember. Sorry. )

I guess I found a relative to borrow a bass from. I still haven't asked him but he's offered to give me one of "the broken ones in the attic".. as he spent the 90s in the DC hardcore scene, not sure what to expect, but I'm finally gonna take him up on it. Hopefully there's something non-left-handed or I'll have to learn to play left handed bass for RPM Challenge in Feb, as well.
On a completely different, and entirely more serious note, I'd like to get another overdrive pedal, either to cascade with my modded Sparkle Drive or on its own. The Sparkle Drive does an incredible clean just-overdriven sound, but as I'm not playing into tube amps anymore, I'd much rather find something with a nice old blues slide / lead overdrive. Thinking a hair less gain than ZZ Top?. Current contenders are another TS9-type pedal with different mods, or, if I can find the cash quick, a Fulltone OCD. Thoughts on this? :>

followup on the OD pedal hunt: Ended up getting a Danelectro Cool Cat Drive after a trip to the local store a few blocks down from my apartment. Loved it from the first moment I plugged it in.
Turned out later, on some internet perusing, that the circuit is pretty close to an OCD. Not bad for $25. (The other Cool Cat pedals are probably ripoffs of boutique circuits too. I think that's kind of cheap of them, but also awesome for me: more good-sounding pedals for cheap. I've got my eyes on the Vibe and Tremolo..)

3 basses I would recommedn the shit out of, in order of affordability:
Hello Kitty! Cheap, easy to play, provided its not fucked up. Bad pickup. fine for recording, I reckon, but it's a squier start pickup in there.
HOLY SHIT. This bass blew me away. Can't saya bad thing about it, except maybe you will get in trouble from all the ladies wanting to bone you after they see you wiht it? $350!!!
And obviously I would recommend the mustang bass, but that is getting expensive!

I have no idea how to explain it, but it's crazy awesome, at least for me :P lotsa knobs tho. Mine got a dent in it It went all the way through the finish, but I got it fixed.
