ElephantSack Man vs. Wild Turkey Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: ATX Posts: 948	Favorite bass? My Schecter Stiletto Custom 5. I like to mix it up when it comes to style. I'm mainly a finger player. I like to throw in some slaps, taps and sweeps. I use a pick on only one song. Favorite bassist? Noel Redding, Les Claypool, Cliff Burton, Colin Marston, Fat Mike, Steve Harris __________________ OF THE SUN
