What? no pictures of John Paul Jones? I think that needs to be corrected. Surprised

I had one on the first page. It's now a little red X because the website that was hosting it took it down or something.

Since when is Frank no longer with Anthrax? He played on their last album (as far as I know).

Did he quit yesterday or something? Shocked

Yeah, about two weeks ago he either left or was kicked out. It was all over the Anthrax site and message board about a week and a half ago. I was really bummed out when I heard that he isn't with the band anymore. He had the most stage presence out of all of the guys in the band and was great to the fans. From what Charlie said in one of his posts on the site, it seems that this might be a separation for awhile, so maybe Frank will be back in the band again. They have Joey Vera from Armored Saint filling in the Japan and Australia dates and then I dunno waht they are gonna do.

Man, that's a shame. Sad

Well, stuff happens... who knows what the future holds....

I'm no good at posting pics or finding hosts or whatever, but...

My heroes play Fenders.

My 69 Jazz Bass is the same bass used by my #1 hero, Family Man(Aston Barrett) from the Wailers. He usually had the version with the black fret marker inlays over the lighter wood(the name of that wood I can't remember). Mine's got the pearl inlays.

Colin Greenwood of Radiohead uses mostly P-Basses, and that's what I owned before the Jazz. It was a Squire though.

Alright! Some love for Billy Sheehan. That guy is amazing... definitely one of my heroes. I respect him for many reasons but one thing I admire most is his loyalty to certain basses.

"The Wife" pictured here has more stories behind it than anyone could ever tell. It looks like it's been through a war... not to mention all the mods he's done on it.

Count the number of Fenders you see with Gibson humbuckers and then count the number of Fenders you see WITHOUT Gibson humbuckers. You'll find many many players who like Fender tone as it is.
