Hi there.
Fairly oldish guitarist here (59 tomorrow...been playing about 45 years...poorly), who filled in on bass for a couple of years back in the early 80's, but went back to guitar.
I've decided to get myself a bass again because, well, I just miss it. A post will follow shortly, begging for advice.
I worked in the music trade in the late 70's & early 80's at a chain of stores called Carlsboro Sound Centres, if anyone remembers them. I'm a senior IT Engineer for the NHS, and also do graphic design and 3D modelling/rendering for a few people in the business (Wampler and Norman's Rare Guitars being the only notable ones currently).
Anyroadup, here are my main planks.
1992 Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro - owned since new
1997 Les Paul Studio - not owned since new - looks like it's been chewed by a large dog, but a couple of lucky flips got me this for £235
Newish Strat - not much more to say, really
Kanile'a K1T-P Tenor ukulele - pictured the day after I treated myself on my 50th birthday
