Greetings and salutations from sunny Walton on Thames!
My name's Chris. I started playing about 25 years ago, although there was a solid 10 year period when I never picked up a bass, and it's only in the last couple of years I've started playing and gigging again. God-damn my fingers got slow over that time
I'm in a covers band, we gig about once a month, half pub-gigs, half private parties and weddings etc. Mostly modern rock with a few classics thrown in (think Absolute Radio playlist...)
I've owned many basses over the years...some that looked like beautiful coffee-tables, some that looked like a cheap bit of MDF from Ikea! Currently playing a 1992 Stingray and I think I finally found a bass that I want to hold on to! Helped by the fact that 1). I'm into most things rock/grunge from the 90's and 2). I know it's a cliche, but I still love Flea's playing after all these years (when he's not doing all that slap malarkey ) [size=1]Still can't believe he defected to Fender...Bloody traitor! [/size]
Aside from bass playing, my hobbies include riding motorcycles and being skint. Usually due to spending all my wages on guitars or bike exhausts.
Aaaanyway...Nice to virtually meet you all on the forum.
