Good evening!!!
Call me Alan... well cos it's my name!!
I've only been playing bass since July 2011. I've got a really cheapo bright orange Jazz copy called a Harrier . It has a nice weight to it but, it's a bitch to keep in tune but the wife says she'll get me a Sunburst Ricky for my 40th if i stick to it.
Only 2 years to go then it shall be mine. bwahaaa .....cough. sorry!!
Im learning fun stuff by Rush, Wolfmother, Black Sabbath, LedZep, Tool and such like.
I was struggling a bit to begin with so i bit the bullet and started using a pick instead. I'm now able to play songs i could only dream of playing six months ago. I'll maybe go back to plucking when i'm a bit more accomplished.....maybe!!
Some of the music i admire; Rush, Zappa, Tool, Wolfmother, Pain of Salvation, Gabriel era Genesis, Yes, Rage against the Machine etc
Cheers, Al..
