Re: 2 Bass Questions

Jeff (bigtikidude) - 04 Nov 2005 23:31:01

DP,
thanks for your input.
If I ever get around to getting into a surf band yeah mainly surf.
But I like rock/metal/some punk also.
I'm actully thiking I'd like to get into a band like
Kyuss/Nebula/Fu Manchu/or Queens of the Stone Age.
be alot easier to find people into that, and possibilty to play
alot more places.
The ultimate would be to have a band that likes and playes both
surf and Heavy rock, and could switch for whatever the gig
needed.
