Hunter Burgan from AFI plays The Prayer Position on original 1999 bass

[@xRyuzakii]

I've always loved jazz bass hunter over precision bass hunter! hope to see more of these!

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

Hunter is such an underrated bass player. Love his tone on this one, the Jazz bass sounds so meaty in the mix on Black Sails, too! I got a chance to meet him in Pontiac, MI on the Warped Tour in Summer 2001, and he was such a cool dude. I told him I was also a bass player, and when he asked me what kind of bass I had, I said "Just a Fender P-Bass," since I was aspiring to get either an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray, or a Warwick of some kind (Roger from Less Than Jake and P-Nut from 311 were also among my favorite bassists at the time, and played those, respectively). Hunter chuckled and said "Hey man, that's a good bass!" I did feel a little bad for interrupting his conversation with the cute woman at the Nitro Records booth, though I still got his autograph on the back of an unused AFI bumper sticker that I still have to this day :D

[@Jrk_1986]

Agreed. That's around the time I couldn't listen anymore. The old stuff still jams though. Nothing like it

Amazing

Billy Corgan shreds on bass!

[@vampireofmisery7381]

That's not Billy Corgan that's Isaac Slade from the fray

[@jimmygee3219]

Wow. This is the best sounding bass ever, not overly bright for a Jazz. Love that tone.

[@adanizl]

Daaaaaamn!

[@jasperhalco871]

So pretty much just smash the low E string for most of the song - got it

AFI used to be so cool

[@michaeltylerstewart]

I understand completely. At what point did they stop being cool, for you?

@@michaeltylerstewart I am an hardcore kid so the first 3 records are golden in my book, Sing the sorrow is their last decent record imo

December underground was decent. Sing the sorrow was good. But only stuff I really ever come back to is: Black sails, All Hallows, art of drowning. The energy. The breakdowns. The best.
