    Hey Steve

    Just wanted to say Hi and how much of a influence you've been in making me stick with playing fretless in metal. I got a Tony Franklin Fender P Bass in 2008, played it on and off since then, couple of recordings but not much. Even though I loved it and its a great sounding bass I just kept...
