grayn Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi there, I just joined the forum and thought I’d say hello. After a 5 year gap, of bass-less-ness, I got myself a Fender Deluxe Series P-Bass Special (phew! what a mouthful), on Xmas Eve. It’s in Blizzard Pearl and I really like it. Been a bassist since 13 and only had a break, when I got heavily into high-end acoustic guitars. Funny thing was, I’d intended to get a Rickenbacker 12-string but preferred a much cheaper Burns. This left cash, and I tried a Ricky 4003. I’d owned one, many years ago. But once again, I preferred the Fender. Amazing value. Now I need a decent combo and intend to find one, this week. Not too big but with a good sound. I love all sorts of music and have played in quite a few bands but my main passion, for most of that time, has been progressive and classic rock. I’ve owned a multitude of basses, over the years. The ones that stand out, are the Rickenbacker 4001, a Wal, a Goodfellow (probably the best bass I ever owned) and a Cort GB99B. Sorry to go on so much. I look forward to reading more of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayn Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks alot, for the welcome. Hey Telebass: my first ever bass, was a Columbus copy of a Telecater bass. It was the same colour as yours. I remember selling my racing bike to get it. It was £33 brand new, in the early 70s. BTW. I picked up a Roland Cube-100 bass combo, today. Really strong sound and remarkably loud for a 1X12. I also tried it, with a 1X15 Ashdown bass cab extension and it was pretty impressive.
