Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

At the moment I've got a Peavey Grind Bass, which has been an awesome bass for the last few years (got it when I left school in 2003). I seriously want a Fender Active Precision Special though - black with gold hardware. Played a couple of Precisions in a shop a while back and loved them, so the Fender definitely gets my vote.

Though having said that, I've always wondered what an Ibanez EDA900 would play like. They've been discontinued but surface on eBay occasionally.

Not really, the extra kick gives the pickups more punch, so you don't need to drive the amp as hard to get the same punchy tone.

Rubbish. They feel thin and fat at the same time. Horrid.

Nikki Sixx does not classify as most thunderbird endorsed glam bands, he is the owner of the glam band.

If I'm wrong, name me five...Nah go on, three.

As i see it you should play whatever you bloody well want.

I am going to have a solo black metal project and play a bloody Daisy Rock.
