While Tetsu of Laruku is my main influence and an all around, cool-looking Bass player, I have to give "mad props" to Toshiya of Dir en Grey. His looks, stage presence, and not to mention his Basslines are top tier, especially on their Macabre album. I personally think that's where his best work was laid out. Now DeG is heading down a new direction in their music and Toshiya seems to be getting pushed more into the background, but not enough to diminish his awesome stage presence and monstrous groove.

Toshiya must be cool he is playing a Gibson RD Artist. That bass just rocks. I have that one on my GAS list.

it's a six string bass, tuned e to e, like a fender bass vi.
