    It's been a while since I was obsessed by finding a vintage Yamaha BB bass. I had several models in target. I found some in a japanese store, I found some in another store in UK, some on Reverb, but suddenly this beauty appeared in the most important instruments sales site in my country, Italy...

    Help Identifying Pickups

    I know this is a long shot but what the hell. I picked up a used Michael Anthony MA-4 from Reverb and I get the feeling that the previous owner changed out the pickups for something else. I know it's a long shot but is there anyone that can possibly identify what pickups these are by this photo

    Hipshot for Schecter?

    I have the carbon black and grey Schecter Michael Anthony bass. I wanna get a hipshot bass extender so I can drop the E to D quickly. There are a few options I see, does anyone know the right one I need to get?

    Eddie Trunk 40th anniversary - Michael Anthony’s vocals rock!

    Watching the Eddie Trunk 40th anniversary show, I’ve always respected Mikey’s vocals (purely amazing) but then hearing him sing lead vocals on these videos for some of the VH tunes, he sounds amazing… and then he sings the backups too and I have to think how much did he carry ALL of the vocals?…...

    "You Really Got Me" with John 5 and Michael Anthony

    This clip isn't new and was included in an article on Blabbermouth this week in which guitarist John 5 spoke about a possible Eddie Van Halen tribute concert. But holy cow, these guys nailed this tune! John 5 is simply a superb player, has been for years.... and sure, Michael Anthony is in...

    Let’s give WVH his due as a bassist.

    Let’s give Wolfgang Van Halen his due as bassist in VH. Eddie tried replacing Mike countless times. I love Mike. But Ed always wanted someone to challenge him. That’s why he loved Sam as a musician. Ed never pulled the trigger on a new bassist, maybe because at least Mike wouldn’t ever be in the...

    Michael Anthony vs Wolfgang Van Halen

    This is an older subject, but does anyone really like wolfgang as a bassist? To be honest, I believe they only fired Anthony as an excuse to hire Eddie's son. In my opinion, Anthony is better and always will be. I believe the stories that Eddie had to teach him how to play is a load of BS. But...
