Pleased to Meet You




This is my bass. He's an ESP Ltd., and a ravishing blonde with two badass, obsidian EMG pickups gleaming with sinister, bombastic intent.

We just celebrated our two-month anniversary together by learning a few Oh Sees songs, although he's been pushing me to move on to "Where Eagles Dare" and "Flight of Icarus" by Iron Maiden sooner rather than later.

I purchased him from Rocker Guitars just before Thanksgiving with a paycheck and a half and a head full of ideas. I was tired of being merely a spectator when it came to music--obviously taking music fairly seriously and being endlessly fascinated by those who make it can only satiate a person so much. A bridge must be built, and then must be crossed.
