ANTHRAX Bassist Offers Impromptu Lesson To Admiring Fan

February 15, 2008

Squier Guitars reports: Here's ANTHRAX bass master Frank Bello in the Fender booth at the January 2008 NAMM show in Anaheim, Calif., giving an impromptu lesson to an admiring fan. The bass used, you ask? What else — Bello's own skull-acious Squier Frank Bello Jazz Bass guitar signature model.

Seems when the excited young squire realized one of his own bass idols was mere footsteps away, he bounded over and accosted his hero, loudly proclaiming to all within earshot the seismic brilliance of Bello's light-speed, testosterone-drenched bassline to the ANTHRAX classic "Caught In a Mosh".

"Dude, that's the greatest bassline ever!" the kid insisted. "You gotta show me how to play it!"

Always a good sport and true-blue Squier man, the bemused Bello was happy to comply, promptly sitting the delighted lad down to school him in the sonic black arts of thrash-metal bass. After a few minutes with a teacher as rad as Bello, naturally, the kid was speed-riffing away on "Caught In a Mosh" like a sure-fingered beast of the night and packing priceless new memories of what was surely the coolest bass lesson ever.
