Hello, 
 
     This is Barry from the States.  I have been playing since I was 16 y.o. I am in my mid-40's now. 
I love rock n' roll heavy or soft.    My basses are a violin bass rip off.  A Squier Jag bass. Peavy Grind 5 string. Italia Rimini with flatwounds.  Plus I recently acquired a Tanglewood Warrior II bass.  I also have Moog Taurus II bass pedals, though I don't use them much.
