Freuds_Cat Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I saw this question asked on the Vintage Guitar and Bass forum and I thought it was an interesting one but it got very little response. I figured you chaps would be more responsive. [b]If you could ask one question to any bass player, past or present, alive or dead, what would it be? [/b] I would love to be able to ask Allen Woody about the setup he used on the Epiphone sig series bass prototype and weather he felt the mass produced instrument was close enough to the vision he had for it.

Rich Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I quite like the question on the Bass Player mag's 'Introduce Yourself' section, "what was your lightbulb moment?". I think it'd be a good one for pretty much every player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
