Hi All, I have been playing bass for almost a year now and can play about grade 3 stuff(if I practice the song for a month or so) My current bass is an (rather nackered) Aria STB-PJ and my amp is a Peavey Microbass. I am saving up for a Ibanez SR700-AM. My prefered genres are metal/Heavy metal (Metallica mainly) so I'm a bit of a headbanger. My style at the moment is pick because I play quite fast stuff but I do use my fingers sometimes. I have no effects yet but hope to get a wah pedal soon.
