There's not much to say about rock bass legend Michael Anthony. He was the bassist of the iconic band Van Halen for over 30 years and is currently in the supergroup Chickenfoot around Joe Satriani, Chad Smith and Sammy Hagar. Of course, his signature basses have his Schecter USA MonsterTone™ MA pickups on board. He also uses bolt-on maple necks with a rosewood fretboard for that extra “attack”.
