String Thru or Top Load
Hey, this is more to get some activity in the bass zone  but what do you prefer? String Thru or Top Load? Personally I like string thru, but my new bass is top load.

So I didn't want to answer.

No! you sillys, Do your strings go through the bass (String Thru) or just over the bridge (Top Load)
I can find pics if you need them?

I didn't check... 
But seriously, Musicians Friend has a very bad selection of basses unless you're into Fender, and if your into Fender, shame on you.

I would never play a fucking daisy rock bass, im not gay! I have a B.C. Rich Beast, it has a great sound to it, but i didnt like the picups, so i changed em, other than that its a pretty sweet bass, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7...ase_pid/511206/ oh, and Im not into fender either, in my opinion, fenders are more for soft rock and all that other shit

Haha, nah i play warwick, although there is nothing wrong with fenders, they are good solid basses, and can be used in any style.

Mine has the option of string through or top load. I tried both and I can't tell the difference because everytime I change strings they obviously sound better than the strings that were on before. I use the top load because often the thickest layer of coiling ends before the nut if I put the strings through the body. The top load bridge gives that extra centimeter needed to make the coiling reach up to the nut. I also think I like top load better because there isn't a sharp angle on the string that might cause it to break.
I'd rather have that flower bass than the BC Rich, since both are only good at looking funny. (I'm kidding, obviously, but I still don't think BC Rich is any good. The one I own sucks, even though it's a different kind)
