New to bass but amuse myself with a wee bit of guitar playing just to keep the arthritis at bay. 
 
The missus said she'd go halves with a bass, so I am the proud owner of a new old stock ESP LTD Vintage 214 PJ set-up. However the Hartke HD75 "practice amp" apparently came as one hell of a shock and my ears are ringing before I've even unpacked it  
 
Looking forward to meeting new friends on here.
