To avoid being lynched, I shall remain quiet about being a guitarist...
I do however play bass too and have done for as long as I've been playing guitar. I'm a firm Music Man Stingray fan, especially pre-ernie balls, but do appreciate a fine bass any day of the week. You Sei players... (having a buddy with two) are about as anal as it gets! *runs*
Bass gear I've owned over the years:
Musicman Stingray '98 Fretless honeyburst
Musicman Stingray '98 Teal
Musicman Stingray-5 '98 Black
Gibson Thunderbird '79 black (had a Baddass bridge fitted)
Fender Precision '63 body, '76 Fretless neck custom J & P pickups (was ex Mo Foster, apparently!)
Fender Squier JV Precision '82 3-tone sunburst (Fender logo)
Fender Squier JV Precision '83 Fiesta Red/nicely faded to salmon pink!
Ibanez Saber Custom, natural mahogany THIN body with Sheehan style Dimarzio in neck
Ibanez SR1500 '93 custom Maple body, wenge/bubinga neck

I'm sure you elitist types will be scoffing at my poor ol list lol
Top 10 favourite bass players:
Tony Franklin
Marco Mendoza
Jaco (obviously)
Pino Paladino
Billy Sheehan
Marcel Jacob
Michael Manring
Glenn Hughes (much overlooked as a bassist)
Lee Pomeroy (old pal who had a big impact on my playing and the finest bassist on the planet, in my opinion!)
Stanley Clarke/Mark King joint 10th.
OK, enough about all that, just leaves me to sa Hello!
