I'm a bass player, but I'll shoot. My main bass is a Black/White Fender Jazz Bass. Her name is Samantha. My amp is a Behrenger 300BX, which is waaaay more power than I really should have ;D
I also have an Olympia acoustic bass guitar (not upright) that I call Harry. I break him out whenever I'm doing something low key.
