@IDontUsePicks - Awesome, congratulations!

(this is Simon) - I started playing bass in 1992, so it's been about 18 years now (and started playing music instruments in the mid 80's actually).

Hmm...they're nothing but posers.

Thank you; we're actually working with Fender about designing a line so you can get one too. Last year, we gave away a free custom shop bass to one of our fans at Sakuracon!

@MrAngel999 dude tons of really experienced bassists use a pick. Paul McCartney and Duff McKagn are examples. Don't hate on using a pick. Its just their preference of tone and style.

@demidevil666 Go with the Ibanez! All you have to do is hold on its lighter and way more balanced. Plus the neck fells really cool and fast.

[demidevil666]

That bass is cool! I think this, or an ibanez SR 500 will be my new instrument. awesome!
