Previously Owned Gear

Fender and Alembic basses, vintage amps. I'd rather talk about music than gear. Equipment is only a means to an end, and not an end in and of itself. What we do with the gear is what's going to pay mortgages and feed babies. Are you a bass owner or a bass player?

G.A.S. List

I want for nothing.
