Hello all,
Thought i'd make a proper introduction.
My name's James, i'm from Manchester and i've been a bassist for 4 years now. I started on the guitar (as you do!) and played for about 8 years - and found once i started mucking about on the bass i didn't want to go back! I've been in a couple of bands and am now a bass player in an indie-rock band called The Satellite Towns.
If anyone's read my original post in Basses, they'll know i'm a left hander. You'll probably also know that there isn't a great deal of choice when it comes to left hand basses, especially with Fender which are my preferred brand!
I have a Squier P bass special which i haven't got round to modding, which i'm ashamed to say is my current no 1 bass. I had a MIM Jazz which i really liked and want to go back to, but i traded it up for a Rickenbacker 4004L which i now need to sell due to needing some wheels for work. And the neck was a bit uncomfortable as i have smallish hands.
I have a fairly basic set-up, the bass is run straight into an Ashdown MAG-300 C115 and occasionally use a USA Big Muff for a bit of dirt.
Anyway, Hola
