Yeah. I didn't have a personal problem with my old Hartke. Actually, I play through Hartke cabs. It's just that the wattage of the Hartke couldn't keep the cabs running when I got them, so it was...

Yeah, I play a lot of chords. And I play taps and mess around with sweep arpeggios. It's all about what you make of it.

I never heard that story. But I actually got this for a steal. I think they usually go for around $1600, but I got it for just over $700.

Yeah, I used to play through a similar Hartke head, but when I bought my cabs, the head couldn't handle them, so I upgraded to this.

Wow. I'm not gonna dog on ya, but I've never even seen Gene Simmons being recognized for his bass playing abilities. Fat Mike is a hell of a player, though... for a picker. ;)

Yeah, I've got an Epiphone Les Paul model bass, and it sounds ****in' great. Heavy as hell, though. But I like tapping and stuff. It's a nice trick to pull out from time to time.
