    How did you start playing bass

    PRS jumping back into the bass market..

These basses were produced in somewhat limited runs. The fact...

    Sunn Cabinet question???

    I have been using a Sunn Beta 202 cab for my bass rig for a long time now and it really stands up to everything I throw at it and sounds great. Especially since I paid $20 for it.
