    I always thought if I were ever to play bass I'd get a
    Firebird. They have a great neck for short fingered people.

    A Firebird bass? Hmmm.... never seen one.

    A classic sound. Berry Oakley used one in the Allman Brothers Band.

    Okay, I'll have to check that out. I never really listened that
    closely to the bass sound on their early records. I guess I just
    thought it was likely a Fender Precision.

    A lot of other players used them late '60's early '70's. Of course I can't think of any off hand, but they were popular for a while.
