Hi all,
my name is Marco, and I'm from Rome(Ita).... I deeply wish I was new, but I'm not since I'm 40 and play bass since 1984.
I've been quite a regular reader here but, I don't know why, I never registered to this forum.
I play progressive rock, and my favourite bassists are Simon Gallup, Derek Forbes, John Taylor, Colin Hodgkinson, James Jamerson and last but not least Macca!!!
