Evil Undead Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hey Chris, welcome Absolutely nothing wrong with your gear there, looks great. Also, nothing wrong with using a pick, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo10 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 You starting with the same gear I did many moons ago! Welcome and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 It's a gear4music bass. Nothing wrong in that at all, I had a guitar strat copy of theirs and loved it - sanded and set it alight in various places though, gave it to my guitarist to smash against a pillar at our first gig with the new lineup not too long ago, sort of regret saying he could do that now! Plenty of nice basses here to blow your money on and a whole lot more besides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
