I'm another with just the one.

An example of the usefulness of punctuation (or the trouble caused by not using it).

Thanks for the suggestion John - I'll look out for something in my area.

Thanks Jerry, I see from your site that you've got some dates coming up in Bournemouth - I shall try to make it to one. Great site by the way. Kev.

Hi BottomE, thanks for the offer. I'm still pretty much a novice on bass so stepping in for gigs at short notice is probably (almost certainly!) beyond me at the moment. I hope to practise more with others to help improve to a gigging level. Thanks again for the offer.

Hi, I've recently taken up bass after many years playing guitar. I play with some mates once a month and I'd like to play with others a bit more frequently. I also play drums and saxophone (alto & tenor) but am primarily looking to play bass and improve. I have my own gear, transport etc. and I'm quite happy to play all types of music. I'm also happy to gig if you want but gigging isn't a necessity. I live in the Poole area so anywhere not too far away would be great including Bournemouth and other areas of south-east Dorset. Hope to hear from you, Kev.

Thanks for your welcome guys

Hi, another newbie here! I've just started playing bass after many years of playing other instruments. Reasons for changing? I thought I'd give it a try since none of the others I play with wanted to and we really need a bass. But more fool the others - I'm loving this new instrument, it's a whole new dimension to explore and most enjoyable. Many thanks to everybody who has posted on this forum, I've found all your views, opinions and information very helpful and I hope to learn a lot more. I may in time eventually be able to give something back - a lot to learn before that I think! All the best to you all.
