Bass guitars are cool and you'll never get short of gigs. You can hit them and they don't break and they make men look hard and women look sexy. I think I might get one just for the pleasure of hitting it like Fieldy from Korn.

BTW, Steve Harris is possibly the greatest and most influencial bass player in modern music. People usually think of him as a member of Iron Maiden before people like Dave Murray or Bruce Dickinson and you can't argue about how influencial Maiden are.

Billy Sheehan is a dick. So are most of his contempories :cool:
