So Hard to Decide...

For christmas, I'm getting a new Bass Guitar. Should I get a 5-string Les Paul looking bass, or a 4 string Viola bass? so hard to decide...

les paul obviously

but but but

Here are the options of Les Paul style Bass guitars:







I prefer the last one, but what are your thoughts.

The first one. The blue is sexy.

My only real problem with the first two is the Bridge.

The white one is cool 'cuz it's a 24 fretter
Blue one has a cool finish
Sunburst on account of the bridge.

then get the one you don't have a problem with

duh

The first bass is the smexiest bass I've ever seen.

AlsoAre any of those short scale? Are those pick ups active?

Why would you want active pickups on a bass? ;-;

Any thing more than 4 string bass= fail

I'll put it that way.

but you can go so much lower and stuff wow

anyway, final decision made, I picked the blue one.

But it was so hard to choose between the blue and sunburst. I liked the blue color better, but the bridge was kinda pushing me towards the Sunburst. But my dad talked to some big guitar people around the area who said that they preferred that more acoustic looking bridge for sound quality/tone, etc.

It should arrive by the end of the week!

Why!? Whats wrong with the extended range? It's not like people don't use a B or high C. I've never understood why people had such problems with 5string bass guitars? Give me explain.

but the blue finish IS the problem.

5 Strings are confusing and awkward to play.

...Why? The range added in one position is just like *censor* heaven with a B string, also unless you play with warm strings an open E cannot compare to a fretted one at all. Besides your failure isn't a basses failure.

6 string bass ftw
