Hi every one i am new to Basschat .just like to introduce myself  

My name is Malc i am 56 and live in North Wales, i Started playing bass about 11 or 12 years ago and started playing in bands about 7 years  ago  although currently I'm not in a band but you    would find me at at local; pub jam nights be for the lock down 

I have a Squirer Jazz , ibanez SDGR and play through Roland cube and an Ashdown rig ,i will have a go at playing lots styles but love funk ,disco soul  the most 

I'm a self employed furniture maker of   over 30 years  so i all so like to make basses when work is a bit  quiet 

Cheers

When you hear your son and his fiancée debating/arguing over whether the car they just heard was a Lamborghini Huracán or Gallardo, you know he's got a keeper  

Had a Bobby Vega youtube video on in the background as I worked... my wife just told me to stop playing bass!!!!  Quite why she didn't realise that my playing had improved massively I don't know!

Nice start to the day today. Came downstairs to find a very tired looking white-tailed bumblebee stumbling about on the hall floor. I recalled reading something about bees responding well to a bit of energy and hydration, so i mixed a tiny bit of sugar in a splash of water on the end of a teaspoon, and held it down in front of the bee. It found it and immediately started to drink, I could see its tongue lapping it up. After slurping for a couple of minutes it stopped and visibly began to revive, so I took it outside. It headed straight for some flowers and started doing what bees do, looking a lot healthier. My feelgood moment for the day.  

10 years today. Times flies but memories remain. Still much missed, you big daft softy. 💙

I joined the EBS Owners Club today - can I expect to be awoken in the early hours for the initiation rite ?

Finally working on my specs for a new Overwater 😁😁

New ear cushions and headband fitted to my trusty Sennheiser HD280 pros... good for another 20 years now, I reckon!  

Going to check out a pretty amazing bass for a pretty amazing price next Monday...wish me luck.

Anyone know of any shops in Scotland that stock Sire? I know I could easily buy online and return if it doesn't work out but would like to try before I buy (in the future of course)

Convince me TO or TO NOT grab a 5 string kit bass to help me while away the lock down hours and my reduced working week to end up with a pointless bass with no resale value. Go on, convince me!
