When culture rushes down on your family and the professing church is trying to imitate the world itself, how will your family keep from being swept away in its path? Only through the Word of God! Family worship, on a daily basis, is your hope that they will stand like steel piers against the prevailing tide... In India there was a custom of throwing babies into the Ganges River as a sacrifice to the gods. If we are unwilling to do any more than merely take our children to church, we might as well be throwing them into the river of the culture. This is an explanation why many children of Christian parents are so often no different than the world’s. They have been given to the gods by their parents – thrown in with hands of neglect.

Hi all,

I have for a while now pondered getting a six string bass. Ideally, I
would want an Acacia Custom six string, but those are not easy to get
hold of anymore. So I have been looking for alternatives, and found two:

1: Yamaha TRB 6 P - a six string with piezos
2: Ken Smith Burner 6 with bolt-on neck

Which is best? I am lookgin for a good, solid sound. Like John Myung
with a Tung six string. My motivation for getting a six string is to be
able to explore chords and things like that, so it is important that
the sound is clear and well defined. I haven't been able to try out any
of these two basses personally, which is why I am asking for advice. I
might get a chance to try the Smith (it is not so far away).

Oh, there is perhaps a third option: a Conklin GTBD7 for $1000 (on
thelowend.net)...

What will satisfy my needs?

thanks,
