Hi,
I'm new on here and just wanted to get this first post out of the way.
I've been playing bass now for about 10 years, during which I was a member of a small Irish band for about 5 years but that ended on musical differences (I was musical and they were just different). I play mainly because I love the instrument now and for my own enjoyment.
As far as gear goes, it's not exactly high end stuff but it's what suits me. I have a Yamaha RBX270J which I bought about 5 years ago and have since been constantly tweaking and upgrading. However I am now at the stage when I want to find something new so I am in for any recommendations people may have. My amp is an Ashdown Electric Blue 180, only really used for home use but can pack a punch for gigs if needed.
I am currently quite into Mark King and am trying my hand at his techniques (with limited success) but I like to keep my playing in all areas of music, it's more fun that way.
And that's about it for now.
