    As a bassist, who are your favorite guitarists?

    Obviously inspired by the thread concerning our favorite drummers. My favorites are Fabrizio Leo, Shawn Lane, Vivien Lalu, John McLaughlin, and Ron Jarzombek. EDIT: Good lord, I almost forgot about Frank Zappa! Although I think of him as a composer first and a guitarist second.

    Who is this bassist?

    At 4:00 in this vid, a song kicks in with a really cool bass line for the guitar solo. Does anyone at least know wether or not that's Yngwie Malmsteem's band playing that song? I ask because the video poster calls that song Arpeggios from Hell, when it's obviously not.

    So how much do Wal basses go for?

    First of all, it should be painfully obvious that I am not going to be able to get one any time soon, if at all. I know damn well how rare they are, and I know they cost a lot, but is there a general range of prices for them, or is it broad (like $4000-$8000?) Lately I've been GAS'ing for...

    For those of you who play subcontra basses

    When do you use those strings? Meaning, what kinds of music do you play that calls for those strings? I'm GUESSING avant-garde metal/jazz and maybe some jazz fusion or something like that, but I'd still like to hear an answer from the players themselves.

    Vivaldi... on guitar.

    My mom showed me this video, and then she said that if I could play a part on the electric bass that could logically go with the piece, she would give me 25 dollars. Pretty cool, huh?

    So what is the point of a pickguard, exactly?

    I've never really found a good reason for it; and my main warwick doesn't even have one anyway, so I never really think about it much.

    What strings does Les claypool use
