    Rolling Stone's Top 50 Bassists of All Time

    Although Mr. Christopher Russell Edward Squire is number one in my book, all others are amazing in their own way. Honestly the Rolling Stone had the hardest work of all posting this but they did pick amazing diverse talent.

    How many amps do you guys own?

    I lost count but the combination between Ampeg SVT PRO II w/8x10 and Marshall Super Bass w/4x12 works very well for me. Bass effects go through the Marshall and the Ampeg does the rest.

I got my hands on a Carvin AC40F without lines but with side dots and for some reason I cannot explain I play so much better. Good luck.

    Lakland Help

    Looking to buy a Lakland Skyline 55-01. Not used to playing a 35 inch scale or should I say never played a 35. I can understand that the low "B" will have better lower end than a 34 inch scale.

    other basses chris squire has used

    Chris dumped his 3 neck WAL for a Japanese copy of the same bass. His original Wal bass is sitting on a wall (no pun intended) at the Hardrock Cafe in New York.

    The Fender P is not a Fender P it is a Lakland Bob Glaub body (Inca Silver) with a Lakland jazz style neck (nut 1.5"). Chris also uses a 70's Fender Jazz bass.
