Hello. I'm Michael I've been in bands on & off for over 30yrs since I was a teenager, but only got into regular gigging about 10yrs ago with my previous band , however that band now seems to have fizzled out even though we haven't officially broken up.
My current band is Junkyard Rocket, a noisy four-piece pub blues band playing covers and originals. We formed last year and played our first gig together on Saturday, which was great fun.
I particularly like short scale basses. The bass I use with Junkyard Rocket is a cheap & cheerful Squier VM Jaguar SS it needs 30" strings so I can't use my favourite Thomastik flats on it so it is wearing a set of GHS 3020L flats.
Other basses in my collection include a Stentor double bass, an NS-design CR-5M, a few precisions, a jazz, a musicmaster, a mustang, an Epiphone t-bird pro-v, a Danelectro longhorn and an Ashbory with pahoehoe strings.
My rig is a the MarkBass LMII & Schroeder 1212L (with crossover & tweeter removed) and I use a Zoom B3 pedal - I only use one setting on that which is a limiter and SVT sim.
