[@vandersgarage4682]

Badass. I just bought a Sire Marcus Miller bass and MarkBass 500 watt head and 2-10 cab to learn on. I can only hope to get half as good as you. I know my rig is far from a beginner rig, but I figured I might as well buy once and get what I want instead of just buying a cheap Squier and wishing I had something nicer a few months down the road.

[@toddhamby]

Thank you Vander!
