Hey I was a bass player and member of this forum for u number of years before packing it all in. After re-thinking life in general I'm thinking about purchasing s bass once again. Big p bass fan but going to scout out for a jack casady if I can get one (or something similar) for a fair price. This all depends on the permanent work situation. So hello again bass chat, let's hope something comes from this.

i own one bass. i may now keep it that way.

you people are too nice, have a word!

Dear fellow Basschatters, From the Age of 12/13 I knew I wanted to mess about with loud rock music and play the bass guitar. I started well with this dream, and kept going at a steady pace. I knew I was never going to make money form it but as the years have dragged on, the family starting to take shape and work commitments taking over (rock n roll) I have decided to sell all my bass gear and stop attempting to get back into playing live music. I have been thinking about this for some time now but the between the options of spending a damp Saturday travelling down to play a gig in some dive in Lincoln (no offence to the town) and being out of pocket for petrol, food and drink or seeing my daughters smile and hearing her laugh as she runs at me with her snotty nose. The snot wins hands down. My life has changed immensely over the past 12-18 months. I now have a career, and I like it. A family and I love it. Lost 35 KGs got back into sport and never want to be unfit and fat again. But sadly I can’t spare the time, energy or money on bass playing so it's time to say goodbye to it all. This is not a 'whoa ist me' pos far from it. I turn 30 next year but feel life is just begging but after 16 years of bass being in the forefront of my mind I have accepted I must now be at the back for me to move forward. I just wanted BC to know how excellent it is and that bass chatters are one special bunch of internet nerds! I have never had a bad sell/buying experiences on here. The contacts I have made have all been decent people. And the thing that really stands out is you are all so passionate about bass and make little money from it. You do it because you love it, I no longer have this love, I’m envious, and you are a credit to amateur musicians. So thanks..... I hope not to lose music completely. The main thing is I will still be the world’s greatest fan of good music and remind the pub of this fact every time I’ve had a few. I have a keyboard, accordion and ukulele I may no concentrate on in the little spare time I get, I hope I do. Until next time.... William James Easton P.S. to break the rule pains me but please check out all my gear for sale. If anyone has a van and wants to rock up to mine with £1000 cash they can take the lot.
