Based on the headstock, I wanna say that it's a First Act Custom Shop dealio. They do a lot of custom work, from what I understand. Could be totally off the mark, though.

That bass is awesome.

First Act started out as a custom instruments manufacturer, right? (The custom shop.) Then Wal-mart bought rights to the name and started making mass-produced crap.

That video confused me so much at first.

I was like "I've never heard this song before... Wait, did they replace the chick guitarist?... Wait, everyone else is different too... What's going on??..."

When I started listening that thing happened, like if you ever thought you had iced tea in a cup and it ended up being coke or something like that when you went to drink it. I don't know if you ever have done that but you still think its what you thought it was for a bit and your brain like just can't figure out whats wrong with what you're tasting, and it's just weird and bad.

They're pretty good. If you like Southern-ish (they're actually from RI) Doom/Sludge Metal that is.

HEY! DON'T FUCK WITH PROVIDENCE BANDS! OR BIGCHIEF AND I WILL FUCK YOU UP!

Unless the bands in question actually suck. But I dig Howl. Hell, I dig both Howls, even if I did have the same reaction as jfrey.
