12stringbassist

I have a white Bison with gold gardware. The shop put it under the lights. They knew how to make me pay!!! Not sure where it was made (It's in the lockup as I type) but it's about 5-6 years old now. It sounds great onstage and has more of a Ric sound than any of my Ric's! It has a very long reach on the neck and a superb variety of sounds. It also weighs a ton!

I have a few Squiers and they are pretty good on the whole.

Hi, I [i]have[/i] used the 12er all the way through, but it doesn't suit everything we do. Both of the Hamer 12's I use are quite heavy, too. I have a nice Dean Rhapsody 8 which is lovely to play, with a nice big sound, but that comes out in its turn. I'm into my Warwicks at the moment.

Hi, My name's Ian and I'm a bassoholic. I have been playing for far too long! My band, The Kerbcrawlers, can generally be found wandering the venues of the Manchester area, with a view to extracting dosh from landlords. My band website and gear page are in my signature. Cheers!
