Default What do you play and why?

Missfire got me thinking when he mentioned his gee-tar, I bet there's a Classic Audi house band on here.

Me? Bass guitarist, not a very good one, but it's a noise I enjoy making!

Why? When I was 14, I noticed the bass line in Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac and wanted to be able to do that. The problem is, I've never been able to play it because I drift away somewhere listenning to it. I startted playing again a couple of years ago when a mate moved into our house and brought his bass with him. I must have spent about 2 weeks playing Zombie by the Cranberries

i bought this gorgeous yamaha on ebay last summer for only £50 -
it makes my three chord wonders so much more bearable...



and why do i "play" it? probably a LOT to do with these characters >>>





and on a slightly different tempo, if the hairs on your neck don't stand on end after watching leo kottke then there is really no hope for you.. >>
