This website describes the ins and outs of basses from a wikipedia point of view. It tells about the history, different styles, and pickups of basses. I think this website will really help me because I think that this is a great start for me. I could probably get a better start here than anywhere else. I would feel that this is a very good website. I would rate this website an 8.

My Photoshop
OK so here my Poster w()()t w()()t
So it is me playing my bass witch would be a BC Rich Bronze Warlock. (Yeah it's a spear point)
I have a pair of wings witch are made from the necks and heads of those basses. There is black fog around my legs and feet, but if you look closely you can see a skull that I am standing on. The background would be bass music beginning composed and the other things would be the studs on my bass strap. The font I made; yes it took a long time.

Yeah I know what I'm doing, more or less I thought about what I was going to do. I figured out that I would like to write music and preform it in front of them, and Aaron is making a metal fusion with his beats.
