I was surprised how good and easy it feels to play! Big smile Got my self a Washburn 6-string, and I'm completelly crazy about it!

I've seen in the "show us your axe" thread, looks better than my Brice, would be interesting to see how they compare when played, I'd suspect that the Washburn would be superier as the Brice is only a cheap bass.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Funny thing is, when he found out Jack Bruce uses more than 4 strings, he went, "Oh, well Jack Bruce is different."
 

Only bassist I know, and he's a close-minded prick.[IMG]height=17 alt=Disapprove src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley13.gif" width=17 align=absMiddle>

    That stinks that you have had a bad experience with a bass player. We're not all that close-minded about things.

I do not think that bass will ever be the lead guitar. I think of the typical bassist (according to my friends and family), laid back and not really caring about being in the limelight. Not the best choice for a lead guitar spot.
