RichCI Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 My brother had one on a bass back in the 80's but, while I've never asked him about the trem, I get the feeling he didn't find it all that useful or it might have been a hassle. Worth noting is that he's the kind of bass player who would have definitely found use for it as he isn't one for just riding an E or an A; fortunately, he's also our lead singer or he'd be playing really over the top and even more complex bass parts.

Hall Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Basshole: Certainly worth seeing what can be learned and added to your sound. Steve Edit: *Wow, your name got zapped. Sorry, not my doing. I think Gibson means music this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
