Bio: There is guitar banjo and bass, but the greatest of these is bass.
Years playing bass: 20 +?? years
Gear: Epiphone Thunderbird until this week when I sold it to a fellow bass player, a BSA [BSA=Bit Stuck Anywhere] a 4 string bitsa bass made from various bits of several bits of bass bits, if you see what I mean. It's my favourite because its perfectly balanced and has a beautiful tone, and plays well. Even better than my Modulus 5, or my Yamaha RBX375 five stringer. I use a 300w Peavey Amp head and a 15" Peavey Black Widow spoeaker cab.
