Kramer V-Neck
Category: GUITARS
This Kramer V-neck bass guitar , has an aluminum neck, V-shaped head stock, a flying V body style, and is somewhat of a rare find. It's been customized a bit, but rather poorly. It could use a restoring. This bass is very "metal" and I found this baby at the Wheeling Outdoor Store (pawn shop).

Dean Edge
Category: GUITARS
This is my favorite bass guitar. For a 6-string it's pretty easy to play. I ordered it on Ebay way back and if I remember right, I think it came from Hawaii. Anyways it is purple which we all know is a sign of gayness, but when I bid on it on Ebay I could have sworn it was a deep blue... Oh well, it's still cooler than you.

Peavey Mantis
Category: GUITARS
The Peavey Mantis, made in the good ol' USA, was 1 of my firts real electric guitars. I got this at the Outdoor Store about a million years ago. Whoever owned it before me thought it'd be a swell idea to cut the pickguard up and put a funky Floyd Rose tremelo bar on it. A few years later Dimebag Darrell wanted to be like me and started using Deans with a very similar shape. The Peavey is still the best though.
