Hey everybody,
Roberto writing, but you can call me Camarillo (yes, I’m a Zappa fanatic).
Just turn 50. I play bass since I was 40. Before I used be a guitarist (like many of us I think)
I play with fingers and pick, very basic slap but I don’t mind since I don’t like it.
I play exclusively 4 strings. Tried some 5er but sold them all.
I love vintage Ibanez from the 80s, and I own a bunch of them.
I have the basic Fenders everyone needs, a P with flats and J bass I modified with P neck, Epic Custom Shop pickups (amazing), stacked knobs and high mass bridge. It was a humble 91 Mexican, now it’s a beast. My main player with my pop rock band.
With my classic rock band I use the Ibbys.
GAS never leaves me. It’s under control but it’s always there. Right now I’m in the market to build a decent rig for gigging.
I own a nice Markbass Nano, but my cabinets are crappy, fatty and noisy (entry level Ashodowns). It’s time find some serious stuff.
