Jason (Chain Cult – bass)

SPB: What type of bass do you play and how did you choose it?

Jason: I have a simple fender jazz bass. Somebody, broke [into] my car and stole my previous one in an unfortunate event and I didnt have any money to buy a new one. So my friend Ilias from Lifewreck lent me his bass -- he was more into guitar playing at that time -- and from then it's still in my possesion! It's an easy to play instrument that can stand in a punk band. I should return it and buy a new one soon, it's been years !!!!
