Peds Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm very new to playing bass. After starting (and stopping) during an illness seven years ago I decided to start again just last month. So I'm now armed with a 'bitza'Fender from e-bay, a Fender amp and a tutor - I'm making a better effort this time! I'll probably spend more time reading than posting but I'm here to learn from you guys too. Peds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Peds, what's the story behind the name? ped[/quote] I was working in the jungles of Central America for six months delivering medical supplies on foot. As you can imagine there we didn't have much to keep us occupied so we had a moustache growing competition lol. So someone called me 'Pedro the Spaniard' after the biggest, droopiest 'tash you can imagine was on my face! That got shortened to Peds eventually, now everyone calls me it. How did you get it?

Bloc Riff Nut Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Hi Peds, These guys know everything, don't hesitate to ask. I, on the other hand, know nothing. I just ask them.

OliverBlackman Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If your new to bass, look into the major's boot camp as theres some really good lessons in there. If i had seen that when i started i would probably be gigging a lot more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peds Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks guys, I'm looking at the bootcamp aswell as what my tutors giving me! I cant believe I got so many welcomes (or is it a case of 'new meat' lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, my story is pretty cool too though. There was this whole thing of a quest across a volcanic dreamland fighting monsters and this little hairy midget following me and then I had to throw the bass into this mountain and stuff, but yeah, it's basically because I had a Pedulla bass.

Peds Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks again guys. Lonestar, I'll add it to my calendar but I'll have to see what I'm doing nearer the time. Thanks for the link though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
