Hello everyone from sunny Barnsley, I am a bass player in my early 50s although not active in a band at moment due to work commitments. I have had a good look at the site over the last couple of days and decided to take the plunge to help represent the great county of yorkshire and left handed bass players . 
My current gear is as follows; 
Dean Edge 5 bass with fret fx side led's 
Yamaha bb1100s (bought years ago s/h, fantastic bass) 
Squire VM jazz bass, Maple (absolute bargain superb bass) 
Cheapo Encore P bass Defretted for "experimentation" 
Ashdown ABM 500 evo II combo (loud!) 
Ashdown pedalboard with various bits and bobs 
Digitech BP200 
Digitech GNX guitar multi effects 
Vintage SG guitar (promise I won't mention this again! 
Hohner 12 string acoustic ditto 
Looking forward to some interesting times on the site 
Cheers, 
Steve
