    What inspired you to play bass?!

    Bass chorus?

    +1 to the T-Rex Bass Chorus (ver. 1, I didn't try the new one), in my board for two years so far. I also had the Small Clone (big chasis, classic version), and I liked it. Also another option is The Clone Theory, for those Hooky tones, if you like the post-punk style. I love Chorus in bass...

    What are YOUR favorite fuzz/distortion/drive pedals?

    I must try the VTBass again, I heard it once played by a friend of mine and didn't convince me then, but It seems to be a very good pedal. The Darkglass Microtubes is another good option, and the Tronographic is impossible to find here in Argentina (I used to buy a lot of pedals online on eBay...

    Andy Rourke (The Smiths)

    I found older threads about Andy but this is the newest, so I just want to say that I'm here basically because of him. I'm a drummer since I was 12 (now I'm 23), but 2 years ago I decided to buy a bass and start learning. I always loved his lines... Favorites: - Barbarism begins at home -...
