My main bass is a 98 U.S.A. Fender Jazz 5 string, and a Carvin LB75 I really enjoy playing them both somtimes it is hard to pick the one I want to use but I lean more to the fender jazz. My favorite bass I have is a early 80's Gibson victory bass but it is only a 4 string and I like to work alot from the B-E below the staff. my best amp is my David Eden WT800

A few years ago, down on my luck and desperate for cash, I appeared in an "adult" film called "Men Who Lick Their Own Basses, Volume 3". The following snapshot is the only photo I could dare post in a "family friendly" forum:

I'm truly glad that I was able to get my life together and to put the shameful days of bass licking behind me. I know, ladies, it's really hot to see a guy lick his own bass, but this is a path of shame and self-destruction. If you have a friend or a loved one who is a bass licker,
seek professional help.
OMG!!! Wish you'd of stayed in the closet! and to think I've been seen in piblic with you!! :oops:

No Bill, I was broke from bass licking. My wife told me If she caught me licking a bass again she was leaving.

Forgot about this one. Nothing special, just a Squire with an EMG and a Badass 2. I refinished it with a pebble granite look.

Alright now leave grimm alone. I remember a young guitarist I knew around 7 years ago who could play with his tongue. Quite the popular young man with the ladies if I remember too.
The person below me enjoys a good spanking.

Thanks guys. It was real easy. Just spray bombs, actually. It's called Fleck Stone and made by Plasti-Cote. 3 light coats of that, long cure time, then 4 coats of clear enamel spray.

When I was in Junior high school, I played the Bass violin but told my parents I wanted to get an electric bass. My mom got this one at an auction. Image

If it had a Morphine Drip I'd be all over it, count on that.
If you change your mind let me know.

Yeah - my second in command is a white NS-2A Spector. I don't have a pic of that bass on this computer yet.

And yes, that is a racecar. I was being an idiot one night at Victory Lanes in Altoona, and about fell off the car, into my rig, and then to the floor. I didn't...but I was damn close!

I've heard many good things about the BTB series basses.
