NBD

I just got back from a two month long work trip, and this Mike Dirnt Epi was waiting for me. I’m not a huge GD fan, but I really wanted this bass. I had the FLEK service from Sweetwater conducted, but I think the action was set a little too low. Maybe I will not notice once I really start playing this guitar later today.

I don't know who Mike Dirnt is or what GD is, but that's a cool looking bass.
Bassist for Green Day.

Not everyone is a fan of them/their message, which is fair. He has some fun basslines and a pretty good tone as far as punk goes. It's refreshing to see a non-P bass or Stingray used! I like those basses too, but breaking the mold can be exciting.

Nice bass OP!

They are just a great band with great bass lines, and really no message... and I am not really a fan, but I do appreciate them.

The pickup layout is intriguing. Looks like a fun bass!
