    Who started it all for you?

    Matt Freeman from Rancid (go listen to maxwell murder and tell me that wouldnt want to make any angsty 14 yearold boy want to play bass) and Krist Novaselic from Nirvana.

    on a jazz, black with tort guard and on a p, white with white guard, and maple/maple necks on both, sorry but a fender style bass has gotta have maple fingerboard for me to like it

    Geddy Lee Bass. What's The Difference?

    like it was mentioned there are differences between the GL and a standard, but the most important factor to tell if its worth the extra 200 is if it feels and sounds better to you than the standard. I've played an american P bass and a MIM p bass side by side and even though the american is...
