I've not been playing long, only since this dude was kind enough to give me an old '77 Bronco before the pleasure of befriending him was mine.
It's pretty beat up, but it does the trick.

A favorite bassist would have to be Larry Taylor. "lOL hoo?"

I thought it was funny in Some Kind Of Monster when he joined the band and there tech was like these are Metallica's guitars and Robert was stunned at how many. Then the tech said "Theres a warehouse with hundreds more that we couldnt take with us.

DOUBLE UPDATE, ITS HERE, AND EVEN BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

I didn't realise the guy over the phone was talking about the QUILT Edge 5, which has better pickups, and that all important quilt maple top!

Ladies and gentlefolk, I present you my new bass!

i play bass,have been for about 10 years.I'm ok at lots of styles,but i'm a metal guy really
i learned alot from listening to:
geezer butler,chris squire,steve harris,frank bello(anthrax),blackie(voivod)&those old billy sheehan articles in guitarworld back in the day.
Right now,i'm playing Rogue 5strings,but I'm moving up to active Peavey milleniums soon,i love those things.
I like this dean up top here.I kno a guy who also has one,a quilt top too,same model,it's a beast,i just prefer the peavey.That's a hot one tho GB!
