Hi,
Having enjoyed many of the posts on the forum I thought I would do a quick intro.
To be honest I would normally have classed myself as a guitarist but we needed a bass player for the company Christmas do so I borrowed a Tokai Explorer and bought a £20 USA made Peavey Minx off of Fleabay. We did the gig last week and had a blast (this really is testament to its not what you've got but what you do with it).
The upshot is I enjoyed the bass so much I have now treat myself to a Vintage Modified Jazz preferring the narrow neck, and I looking forward to some more playing and a couple of upgrades to the Jazz in the near future.
Cheers for now.
