Hello to all of you, i'm Ian from Crewe in Cheshire and i'v been playing for a year and a half now. I have been wanting to get a bass for the last 20 years, but my love of motorbikes has always got in the way. Anyway, i promised the wife we would have the back garden professionaly landscaped, so the bike has gone and i kept some dosh back for me I did have a starter pack off ebay, you know, bass,amp,lead,etc. not bad for the money. I now have a Mexican Fender delux Jazz Bass and Ashdown electric blue 180, 1x15 combo. I have been having lessons for a while now and would love to get in a band, but fear i may have left it too late, i'm 44 now. Anyway, enough rambling, i hope to get some tips off you guys on here . Cheers Hitchy
