What model bass do you have? It's called a Cat Bass, but it's an ancient piece of s**t. My uncle's from when he was in college, then it went to my brother, now it's mine (my brother has a nice new Fender). Pretty much the musician's heirloom in my family.

I'm in my high school's a cappella group (16 people making music, no instruments) which is amazing, we just covered Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in our concert last night. I've been playing music since I was in second grade, and singing like an obnoxious little kid since the day I was born :3

She's a Peavey Milestone BXP called Brody. Got her in a starter pack, I'm hoping to expand my 'collection' soon.

Mike Dirnt is quite possibly God.

I'm not sure of the rules as yet but I'm sure they'll be fine. I hope I'm not too much of a n00b and that I don't make a nuisance of myself. Any tips and guidance I can get from you guys will be much appreciated - it's good to be here! biggrin
