Mike Dirnt is best known as the bass player in the band Green Day. He's lived a tough life and it's good to see him doing well in one of the largest bands around. A less know fact is that Green Day's Mike Dirnt is also the bassist in another band called The Frustrators. Mike has some pretty cool bass gear.
