Wow, there's some seriously impressive stuff going on in there!

Haha... that's a good way to put it. Just realised I shouldn't have written all that without at least one photo!

Hi Everyone, Plymouth-based mediocre bassist getting back into it! I've played music off and on since starting with cello aged 8-ish and meandering through all sorts (French horn anyone?). In my teenage years I picked up the bass for a band, and... shazam! I haven't gigged for a while but my most recent project was a gypsy jazz duo (played guitar too for that one). I like to play anything with a good groove, but also enjoy seeing what otherworldly sounds I can generate with a bit of experimentation. Have just set up some jam sessions with old friends and enjoyed last night's eclectic journey of Irish Trad to metal via glam. I currently play a MiM fretless Jazz bass bought new about 20 years ago, and the P-bass my wife bought me the day I completed my PhD in 2013. I like to make things, and have built some of my own effects. Currently finishing a MIDI controller built from a navy ship's switch panel and an Arduino, which I use to operate a mini synth. Inspired by the gear page here, I finally dug out the router to build a dedicated pedalboard from some plywood offcuts, and look forward to sharing the outcome. Great to see such a community here on Basschat and it's certainly contributing to my enthusiasm to keep playing. Cheers, Luke
