We had a lovely natter over a beer, played some basses, and thankfully he seemed to love the 'vette. He's a truly great guy to deal with. A real pleasure to hang with, and we'll hook up for a gig and a beer or two next time he's in London. Thanks so much James! Lovely to meet you, mate. N[/quote] The pleasure was all mine, thanks for everything buddy!

Just picked up Nigel's $$ and I'm smitten. He's a lovely guy, knows his bass and obviously takes very good care of his equipment. An absolute gent, went as far as to give me directions and pick me up from the station in his car. A pleasure to deal with and really fun to hang out with. Really appreciated the beer and the chat mate, was going to be a very boring evening otherwise! Nice cats too! Am now noodling on the $$ in my hotel room and trying not to play it too loudly...

I'm 24, started playing bass age 18. Fingerstyle and slap player. I started off like many others trying to emulate Flea, as he was one of the main reasons I got into playing. I used to just play in my bedroom but a good friend asked me to step in "temporarily" in his power/thrash metal band, and I've been stuck there for the last few years. I really enjoy it and I think more than anything else it's helped with my timing and locking in with the drummer. I take inspiration mostly from Steve Harris, Martin Mendez and Colin Edwin as much as I can. We've done a few gigs recently, and I'm dying to get back on stage, I love it. When I'm not playing with the band I tend to gravitate much more towards Motown stuff though, love Jamerson.

Do you enjoy the songs? I think that's the key. I've found writing out music holds me back and stops me taking it in...

Welcome to the forum! Hold on tight to your new gear, it won't be long till you get drawn to the for sale section and start lusting after other gear...

Toni just bought my Laney combo. Great guy, everything went without a hitch

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='1102664' date='Jan 25 2011, 08:09 PM']Bass Player being banged by guitarist?? Arseholes?? This band sounds dodgy. Leave now![/quote] I wish my guitar player would bang me from time to time.

My Rotosound Steve Harris flats have a similar colour arrangement...

I was joking, by the way, the guitarist in my band is great, and open to criticism. He does play VERY LOUDLY though.

Pretty sure all guitarists are like this...
