Hi Stevie, I only joined this site yesterday so I'm a newbie as well (at age 49) I play in a band called "The Phoenix Band" here at Stafford !! I know exactly what you mean about being ill. I've been off work for 6 months with cancer, but my bass runs and scales have improved loads with all the practice. Hope we both get some good tips from the website. Duncan

Hi Alexisonfire, I live in Stafford town. Bands played in past 2 years The Magpies, Synergy (playing in both bands at same time) and Route 66. The latter was a total misjudgement of character as 2 in the band were alcoholics with no transport, communications. Simply chaos and selfish bastards. At the mo I'm just about to join The Phoenix Band. You been to Phoenix music yet up next to the prison? Great music shop... much better than Eric at Guitar and son. Dunc

Hi Muzz, Yep and I do have back problems! Cheers Dunc

Hi everyone, Been a bassist gigging for around 30 odd years but only just found this website!! Played loads of pubs/clubs around the Midlands. Joined the RAF and played in bands in Germany,Holland and Belgium. Now out the RAF, back and playing classic rock/MOR stuff around Stafford. I love vintage bass gear but not afraid to experiment with new stuff that comes out. Just call me old school! Basses: Fender P 60th Diamond Anniversary in sunburst Washburn Bantam Fretless 1967 Burns Vibraslim semi acoustic bass Amp: Marshall JCM800 100w Superbass (I think 1986) Vox AC50 Valve head (1972) Marshall 1936A sloping 4 x 12 Marshall 1974 straight front 4 x12 Ridiculous really having a complete Marshall stack and car wise a Peugot 206! Can only get 1 cab + flight case and amp in!! Schoolboy error getting rid of my Vauxhall Vectra estate last year. Looking forward to posting a few replies in the forum. Cheers guys and gals duncbassgit
