His dimarzio will power pickup is pretty Damn awesome too. I've learned a ton about tone just watching him on YouTube and this is years after gigging, swapping in and out pickups, active, passive, amps, cabs, etc.

This^^^^^ Bob Daisley is a monster. The more I listen the more in awe I'm in of this guy

I had an epiphone korina explorer. Bought it new. It's an incredibly huge bass. With the case I could barely fit in my car at the time. Beefy neck, brass nut, glue joint, pretty killer craftsmanship. I traded mine though. It was to Damn long. I'm 5'-10" and usually play thunderbirds but I found...

Believe it or not it was the epiphone eb3. Man, that bass plays great! Thin, fast neck. With the 3 point bridge you can usually only get so low on your action but this bass set up great. Upper fret access is sick. I was totally planning on swapping out the mudbucker with a dimarzio will power I...

I'm an old metal head ( priest, maiden, motorhead, etc ), look like one too. Still keep my hair long, wear a lot of black, denim, leather, etc. I listen to Alt nation on the satellite in the storeroom at work more than ozzy's bone yard or hair nation. It's all good imo. I like foster the people...

Ibanez rock n play. Man, when your figuring out a 50+ song list that thing was such a blessing. Used to pick up and drop the needle on my turntable a million times trying to figure out some lines until that little gem come along. Back in the day tab was not really available or very limited. I...

Weight training definitely detracts from my fingering. I lifted pretty seriously this summer and I've noticed it quite a bit. Ive since laid of the weights and trying to do more cardio

This^^^^ Listen to Michael Schenker solo's. There is couple really good YouTube compilation soloing videos of him. I've found them incredibly inspiring.

It's a long scale. Wonderful access to the higher frets. Again, playability is fantastic.

Epiphone EB3. I've had or have Fender P, Fender aerodyne, High end BC Rich warlock, G&L SB2 and a custom built Rarebird TBIRD. I know most basses on my list weren't $1000.00 ( the BC was $1500 and the rarebird was $2500 )but I'm scratching my head as to why it took me so long to find the EB3...

Graham Bonnet, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford. Always thought Ricky Medlocke had some wicked pipes.

I was lead singer along with being the bass player. I had all kinds of issues with spit. My bass was covered with it by the end of the night not to mention the top part of my shirt. I do know what your talking about with weird breathing patterns too just playing bass
