Only problem is, I depsise his choice in basses (all Warwicks...). Jeff Ament's bass collection is much more my thing...

I read most of his tabs and them songs are so easy.
I watched videos of him playing and find it funny how he headbangs by just playing E and A through an entire song. |

| | | | Pop in Jar of Flies. The opening Bass line is wicked. It instantly hooks you. Incredible bass player. I dig Mike Starr too. The bass lines from Dirt are sick!

| | | | yeah Mike starr has some sweet lines too. one of my fav lines by starr is down in a hole. I also love how Inez played it on the MTV unplugged show |

I noticed recently "W" made him a cherryburst replica of his NS2 b/c I guess they didn't want him onstage w/ the "S" bass anymore...
He is actually my fave Ozzy lineup too:
Inez

| | | | Great player, great tone. But Mike Starr was great too. His bass sound on DIRT is awesome. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
