Hell yeah. I can't even manage a 4 string, and that's a monster, but my boy Justin Chancellor of Tool got me into Wal back in the 90's.

I've got this peavy rock bass from the eighties that was about 40 pounds, 3 pick-ups, really cool! I'm a terrible player of all things stringed though.
Also Jewy, you never answered by question about Lotus guitars from way back. Are they any good? I found a beat up one on the street. The head stock look cheap and chinese-ish but the guitar is really, suggesting good to a know-nothing like me. Wondering if it's worth restringing and trying to sell? Or if it's crap.
I'll post a pic soon.
