Magic Fingers

Hi, This is the first chat line / forum I have joined (not quite sure how this works). I began in the sixties playing guitar in a couple of groups. Got married - two adult children later I treated myself to a Stratocaster and started music classes playing Rock and Blues. The scene had changed too much so ended up changing to Bass - bought various basses and amps and am now settled with US Fender Jazz Bass and Roland practice amp and stage amp Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II. I play in an ensemble (Brass and Guitars) and mainly play jazz along with some Blues. I read music (fairly fluently) and have been into computers since the 80's. I am thinking of downsizing in terms of the band to a small combo so the big amp will be going (too heavy to lug around at my age). I have just bought an electric violin (NS Wav) and have started lessons for that (my wife thinks I am mad) - an advantage of retiring is that I now have the time. I intend on being an active member on the forum. I will post some pics if I can figure out how all this works.
