Truckstop Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hello everybody, It suddenly occurred to me that I never said an actual "hello" to the BCers here! I only signed up to try to shift my Yamaha when I had a bit of a poor patch, but luckily for me, no-one bought it! Anyway: My real name's Alex, I'm 23 and I live in Shenley which is a small village near the city of St. Albans. I work as a librarian at the University of Hertfordshire and I love it! I'm about to embark on an Environmental Management Bsc here and luckily for me, I get my fees waived! Im also a trained chef so at the weekends I cook at a local pub which is also pretty cool. I get to create my own menu and it's just another avenue with which to provide myself with an outlet for my creativity. Im well into my music. When I was at school, the louder the better! The bands that I have been in throughout my life reflect that philosophy but now i've decided to take a more mature direction with my music and have decided to start a piano, drum and bass trio with which we can all just jam and create some nice lounge-y, jazz-y, pop-y, elbow-y kind of music. Very friendly indeed! Need to enlist a singer though, but no rush! I've not really had a chance to have a particularly exciting gear collection, but I'm well happy with the stuff I have. It's served me well over the years and I'm sure it will conitinue to do so. Now on the lookout for an upright and a hollow-body to supplement my new musical direction. That's it I guess! Truckstop.

cameltoe Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Dude, if you're happy with the gear you have, take my advice and get off this forum! GAAAAAAAAS CENTRAL! You'll have bought and sold 4 basses by the end of the year otherwise. Guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Well as long as they're upright or hollow, i'll be fine with that! What does GAS mean anyway? I've been trying to figure it out for ages. I can get IIRC, IMO, IME, OMG, LMAONADE, ROFLCOPTER etc. but GAS? No ideas. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Oh I already have it! The other day, I was so close to ringing John Shuker up and asking for an all white P-Bass! And yesterday, I nearly emailed Elrick to get a quote on something... anything! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
