Hey there, I'll take some Zubrowka vodka straight up if you're buying Simon.

Just thought I'd say hi too - another geordie here Simon.

[quote name='mewsie' post='151916' date='Mar 5 2008, 06:18 PM']leeds is awesome. whereabouts did you live? headingley? (as good a guess as any)[/quote] I lived in Devon Road, which is very close to the university - about five minutes walk from the Parkinson steps... I miss it from time to time, such a great place Simon.

Hi there, I spent three years in Leeds (at uni) and loved it there... Biscuits/cakes/tea are all great in my book Simon.

Hey there and welcome from a fellow Northerner - I joined fairly recently myself Si.

[quote name='Ghost Rider' post='140155' date='Feb 14 2008, 11:13 AM']Areet Si, Do you play in a band or owt?[/quote] Nah, no bands. Would be cool like, I've spent many an hour jamming with a good drummer. Maybe some day Si.

I'm just up the road, in Blyth (although I think I said I was from Newcastle when I introduced myself here - doesn't require explaning where I live!). Si.

Hey there, just recently joined myself. Went to uni in Leeds, cracking city! Zender is indeed a great bassist Si.

I was looking at a similar thread over at TalkBass, seems they're getting a SR-535 over there in the US... She's sure purrty Si.

Wouldn't mind looking into it though, perhaps once I finally learn to drive and have some transport Si.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='131232' date='Jan 31 2008, 11:54 AM']The Geordie chapter have a new member woo hoo![/quote] The Geordies have a 'chapter' eh?! [quote name='warwickhunt' post='131232' date='Jan 31 2008, 11:54 AM']... and he's already talking GAS, he'll fit right in [/quote] I'm always GAS'ing - just rarely have the funds to act on my impulses Si.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='131203' date='Jan 31 2008, 11:16 AM']Welcome aboard, bonny lad...[/quote] Cheers! I'm guessing from the nick you're a fellow geordie - or at least in the 'Toon Si.

Hey, Just thought I'd introduce myself, names Simon and I've just hit the 30 mark. Been playing bass for around 10 years now with 80% of my time spent slapping the thing - can't stop grinning when I slap. Influences would include Stu Zender, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Tetsuo Sakurai, Paul Jackson. Music wise it's a mixed bag of 70's/80's jazz-funk and jazz-fusion with some more modern nu-jazz/i.d.m. Currently playing a Cort Artisan A4 (which I may sell to get funds for a new MIA Fender Jazz Standard) Si.
