Bass Porn For Today
The 12-string bass:
No, not that one. That's just silly. You'd probably find yourself playing a Malmsteen solo at some point, and that's not right. I'll bet that guy's thinking "SHRED!" right now. Maybe "Now I'll finally be able to finish my 13-part song cycle on the Dragonriders of Pern!"?
Man, I bet that would be a cool 13-part song cycle, though.
Between King's X and Cheap Trick, I think I've lusted after this for a long time. While other basses lay down the bottom end in fashion from subtle to grooving, I'm fairly sure this instrument cuts broad swaths of destruction across the soon-to-be-barren earth. Plus, you get to sound like a bass and rhythm guitar without having to put up with an additional guitarist. Always a bonus.
