Well thought its best to pop in to say high and be polite. Hope to get to know you all well, although I must admit I'm more of a reader than a poster, but there is always time for change! I got my first bass guitar at the age of 11 (10 years ago) my dad is a cracking bass player even if I do say so myself, that first bass was a peavey, really dark sound but not bad for a beginners guitar I guess. I started gigging properly at around the age of 15, and ended up getting a Behringer x4210a combo to see me through. Although it was a decent Amp for the time, I'm still playing with it and drastically require something with a bit more punch! 4 months after the purchase of the amp I ended up settling for my Japanese Fender Jazz 62 reissue, I dare say a fair few of you have tried these basses and in my opinion I think its a really good bass with a fairly good tone! I'm lucky enough to have a Father with a really good collection of Bass guitars to, he owns a 67' USA Fender Jazz, Status Graphite, Rickenbacker (something or other...) Musicman Bongo and a great set of Amps, cabs, pedals and a few six string guitars to keep me entertained. My Main influences on the Bass are Flea, Mark King and Chris Wolstenholme. I've played in various bands, usually playing covers across pubs and clubs but also writing our own material. My current band covers stuff such as Thin Lizzy, Joy Division, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Beatles, The Turtles etc etc, then more current stuff such as your Killers, Maroon 5, Kings of Leon and just what you expect from your pub bands I guess. I'm self taught (with a lot of help from my dad) So sadly my main weakness is to read music, although I can just about manage it just very slowly, recently played in a local production of We Will Rock You where they required me to be able to sheet read, which pushed me on and helped me a lot. Anyway, not sure if you wanted to know that much about me but thought it would give a fairly good insight! Hope to get to know you all soon Adam!
