    After 8 months of being careful, it finally happened (bass damage)

    Nikki Sixx: Isolated bass track to "Kickstart My Heart" (1989)

    I saw the Crue in Tulsa, 86 methinks (or 87...or 88...80s was kind of a blur). Wasp opened up for them, had an amazing bass solo.

    What was your first bass guitar?

    I had this exact bass, bought new in 1986 for about $300. 1st bass I picked up in 1984, a Pan (SG body) my older brother borrowed from a friend. Stayed home sick from school and figured out Tom Sawyer. 2nd song: Paranoid. A month later I was in a band

    Any tips on how to be ok with bad drummer?

    Decent players with great chemistry trump great players with weak chemistry. IMHO. If you're having success as advertised, you're doing something right. Enjoy the ride. Obsession with the negative is the path to the dark side. Like Yoda I sound. Positive relationships are based on honesty...

    Your LEAST favorite songs/album from your FAVORITE band?

    Rush, The Necromancer. After the intense fast groove at about 9 min in, "enter the champion... ", sounds like audio from a breath mint commercial, "stealthily attack-i-ing, By Tor sells Mentho-os"
