Thanks Basschat for letting me join. I am retired now and have an interest in music theory, keyboard and bass. Allthough I am learning to play I would like to become knowlegable as a bass tech so I may help my grandaughter with her studies in music and performing arts as bass guitar is her instrument. Over the last few months I have gained a lot of knowledge from the forum and would like to thank all the members and admin for making this such a cracking site. I will be buzzing around in the background mainly. Thanks again Charlie.
