Summer

Thank you! In bass news, I’ve been learning a couple songs from the Pixies and the Cranberries.

Hello - Im based in Chicago - though I spend a lot of time in the UK - and have decided to join this forum. I’m newly learning bass, wanting to make sure I learned enough to make my father proud while I could. He passed away on Wednesday, and was a legend bassist. (Corky Holbrook; bassist for Billy Ray Cyrus) With some of my parting words to him on Tuesday, I told him I’d track down his missing bass, his prized possession that was stolen from his studio in 2014. Now I know this is a UK based site, and his studio was in Kentucky (USA) but I’ll put the details of it here, and perhaps someone might know how to track down missing things. Very nice to meet you all.
