My story. Read.

Sup readers, Im Jackson, I JUST joined this forum, im 13, pretty young, eighth grader, star football player, music freak, im probably the only kid here that is into the brian setzer and rockabilly scene. im so into music, I know alot about gear for my age, i was at GC and even one of the workers was so suprised on my knowledge, i play bass guitar, and I finally found my place in the music world.

funny story on how i started on bass, last winter, in December,
I was so into koRn and slipknot, im not into it anymore i just grew out of it, its way too dark, im into punk rock now. But when i was listening to a koRn song, on youtube there was a video on the sidebar that was a guitar cover, i accidentally clicked on it and i didnt even realize it was a guitar cover, koRn uses 7 string guitars, and that B string was so deep, I thought it was a bass, LOL. So from there, I just searched up one of my favorite song's bass cover. I fell in love with the sound, I finally got my hands on a bass, Broke it in a month, nutted up, and got my bass i had wanted since i first got into bass guitar. I started playing guitar in second grade, got lessons, and my guitar teacher and amazing friend Brian Levell, was out on a jog, and fell, and suddenly had a severe heart attck, and died, right there, he was my rock teacher, we even wrote a song together. Once he died, it really bummed me out and i quit. then I got inspired by guitar hero to play drums, turned out, i was not really enjoying myself, then, 2 years later, i got into bass, and its a perfect match!
I love pop-punk, and clasic rock, and real punk rock, such as fall out boy, yellowcard, blink 182, rise against, ect. Im new to this forum, i love fender P basses, and music is my rock.

R.I.P Brian Levell

and a schecter stilletto costom 4 strings, good bass, i can get good punk tones out of it, but its an active EQ :p

I don't have much experience with Schecter, played one at GC once, but that's all.. I'm playing a 4003 Jetglo Rickenbacker, and I also got a epiphone thunderbird.
