Hey Basschatters,
I'll keep this pretty short, 29 year old bass player, always played metal until 8 weeks ago when i joined a kinda jazzy/proggy/pop act (think muse crossed with tori amos). I am mainly here on the recommendation of a friend as i'm looking to trade a Rickenbacker 4003 for something less rough and more suited to the varying styles i'm now playing.
I've played the bass for years, self taught (read not as good as he should be) and I will going back to school next year to "learn" to play the instrument I have already been playing over a decade. Scary times.
Aside from that I enjoy long walks on the beach and a good book book in front of the fire.
Peace
Cerb
