Very much agreed. My gas is finally done. Ironic really as I'm bass wise virtually back where I began! Hell, not far off amp wise either!
I'm hardly playing bass at all at the mo, which is probably part of it, having ended up on guitar for the first time in my life?!!!? (power chords only!) but guitars dont interest me really. Just tools to a job. I have noticed however that when I pick up a bass to noodle or play at open mic, i not only love it, but am proper on form too! Typical! Heh heh
