Hi..!
 
	I'm Shels - a relatively late female bass starter, three years ago in my late 40s. After a few false starts & reboots, I've finally found my flow this past year.  I'm certainly not going to be playing with Gail Ann Dorsey anytime soon, but I smile every time I start practising, which must be a good sign... Recently moved back to a small village in the UK after 12 years in a big city in the USA, so I'm belatedly joining Basschat and look forward to any advice & encouragement received... 
 
	Gear: 
	- Ibanez SR500 SE Sunburst (sadly now selling that as age & neck injury has meant a move to short scale which is really working for me. Replacing it with a Sterling by Music Man Stingray SS) 
	- Gretsch Junior Jet 
	- Hofner Shorty (wonderfully modded by a talented guy called Keef)
 
	Cheers, Shels
