I don't play bass but at that price I'd buy that thing, I could do with one for recording.

You should start. It never hurts to have a bass lying around. That bass looks cool.

Whoahhhh is that around $80 in American dollars so far? That's 80 tacos- 10 a day tacos for 8 days. Save your lunch money and DEW IT!

Who knows, you could revolutionize the bass world with your pedals....

Buy it then send it to me for Christmas... :D

One of the few times being one bass player among 600 guitarists comes in handy...

It's not my favorite song of theirs, but it was the first vid I could find where they use those Yamaha basses. The guitarist used to play the guitar version of the same style Yamaha. I don't get the green day affiliation though. I have a few of their albums, it's hard to place their sound, some stuff has ska influence, some more rockabilly/jazz chords, and some is just more mainstream japanese pop/rock. Besides, they're like chicks and stuff, and play cool guitars. Not to mention most of their songs have more than 3 chords and they can actually all play their instruments quite well. Didn't mean to derail the thread. :wink:

The bass is as cool as fuck Hurb, you should buy it. Any guitarist can play some bass if they apply themselves and surely it will come in for home recording etc.?

Damn that thing is sweet. Too bad it's not all original, and also too bad I don't live in the UK.

Hey Mike, what's the name of that J band?

Wilbur, you're one of TWO bassists on this forum!
