Against Me! is hosting an auction for a brand new Roger Waters signature Fender Precision bass signed by all members of the band for the purpose of raising awareness and additional funds for the victims of the devastating tornado and storms that swept through the Southern United States recently. The band will be donating 100% of the funds received from the winning bid to the Alabama Red Cross and their continued relief efforts. Bassist Andrew Seward said this:

I grew up in Huntsville, Alabama - my parents still live there and my brother and sister-in-law live in Birmingham. I vividly remember when I was in 5th grade and a tornado came ripping through Huntsville during rush hour. Fortunately, my brother and I were at home with my mom. I remember her rushing us into the downstairs bathroom and making us get in the tub. The tornado didn't hit us but it hit about two miles away destroying a grocery store and shopping center. I remember Huntsville being on the national news and how huge the tornado seemed. Now the tornado from my youth seems so small compared to the twisters I have seen on television in the past weeks. The images are horrifying. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost so much.


The bass is the same model that Seward uses with the band. Check out the auction here.
