Greetings everybody,
Name's Marco, I'm an italian living in Edinburgh and I love playing bass.
I'm self-taught and not particularly good, but i've been playing for quite a few years, largely rock/new wave/punk kind of stuff.
For some reason I stopped playing when I moved to Edinburgh in 2001, but after a couple of years in the limbo, I realized that what i was missing was playing bass in a band. Within a few days I armed myself with some new gear and joined a local cover band :-)
I love looking for unusual, good quality and inexpensive gear, mainly because i love hunting for the undiscovered gem...
Current gear:
Fender Aerodyne prec, MIJ a few years ago
Schecter CV4, bought cheaply as backup, but a real surprise!
Westone Thunder 1A, MIJ '83
Epiphone EB0, bought as a joke from a pawn shop and now used extensively
Ibanez SR800 LE, an early soundgear that I bought as a 16 year old, when soundgears where still new...
A no-name acoustic, rarely used
All played through a Hartke Kickback 120, or a Hartke VXL Bass Attack if I can't be bothered to carry the combo.
Cheers,
Marco
