Guess I'm part of the gang now.

Why not go and try out a load of basses within your budget then get whichever one you like most. :)

Yes please. :D

This was pretty hilarious!

Dream bass right there!

Sounds like you want to do it, so go for it pal. :) For me, if the fingerboard is rosewood, the headstock looks best matching the body. If it's maple, the headstock matches the fingerboard. Not a fan of maple fb and a painted headstock for some reason.

Hey guys, looking to get some advice. I'm thinking of selling my gear for cheaper gear and pocketing the difference. I'll start off with the fact that I'm a novice bedroom player who bought a good bass and amp not long after I started playing. I don't practice every day or even often but pick...

Can't believe I forgot two important ones when I made this list. My 5 would be Fat Mike (NOFX) Matt Freeman (Rancid) Flea (RHCP) Stefan Olsdal (Placebo) Pat Seals (Flyleaf) Les Claypool (Primus) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica) being honourable mentions. I'd also put Mark Hoppus as an honourable...
