Been playing on and off (mostly off) for 16 years. Recently been playing electric guitar for a couple of bands, but decided wanted to play more bass so I joined another!

Always used to play with a pick, but recently been practising with the old digits (much prefer the tone). Main influences are JPJ and Steve Harris. Only rarely escape the pentatonic box, but now determined to play well, rather than adequately, so more practice for me!

I use one myself. Very fast, fluid neck with versatile electronics. In my opinion, the best sub £200 bass on the market. Always remember though that it is a cheap bass, so don't expect it to sound like a Jazz, Precision etc., it has a good "generic" tone.

Currently using an Ibanez GSR200 (love that neck), but will be upgrading this year to a proper Soundgear.

Hi All,

After too many years being forced to play 6 strings (and thin ones at that) in bands, I have recently decided to come back to my instrument of choice and joined a band playing bass again, and I'm loving it. It makes playing a joy again!

Due to a terminal lack of cash, I am currently using an Ibanez GSR200 through a Zoom B2 unit into the bands PA which works surprisingly well. Looking to upgrade during the next 12 months to a Fender MIM Jazz or Ibanez SR500 (I like thinnish necks) into an Ashdown EB 12-180 combo.

Speak to y'all later!
