Hi all. I thought I'd drop in here and say hello.
I found this forum on recommendation from a bass playing friend.
Im pretty new to the bass playing scene, I've only been playing since the beginning of September this year.
Songs I like and influences are pretty much anything from the 50's to the present day. If I like the sound of it I'll try to learn it. Some songs that I've learnt so far are:
All my loving - The Beatles
Pure - The lightning seeds
New York City Cops - The strokes (plus one or two more strokes tunes)
Here comes your man - pixies (and most other popular pixies tunes)
Times is running out - muse
so pretty basic stuff but I'm working at itand I have to remind myself that I only picked up the bass 3 months ago.
Gear wise, nothing to write home about. An early 90's Aria pro 2 that I picked up and a 20w practice amp. They will do me for the time being.
I practice each day, even if for ten minutes on an evening, splitting my time between playing and learning songs and trying to learn theory sort of stuff.
I think that's pretty much it. Oh I'm left handed and play left handed too.
Cheers
Ryan
