Good movie, but honestly..
In a bass battle, how could the guy with the Ric not win? The spirit of Lemmy would fly out of the Ric and kick the other guy's butt.
For those that haven't seen - here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHXgJK5Os84

I'm guessing not enough people have seen this so... I just added the youtube link. C'mon talkbassers - where else do you get a bass battle for crying out loud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHXgJK5Os84

EDIT:
Nevermind, they aren't actually fighting... I need to get out more.
Those solos are weak, though.
