borisbrain Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi Basspeeps, I've been posting on this forum for a few weeks now, but thought I should get around to putting a proper intro together. Based in sunny West Bromwich near Birmingham, I'm currently the bass player-cum-occasional-singer with The Undercocks, a four-piece 70s punk covers band (Clash, Costello, Pistols etc). We've been gigging for a little over two years now - we did 40 last year and have about 25 lined up so far for next year. We gig across the Midlands, so do try to drop by if you can. You can find gigs at www.theundercocks.com Now 43, I've played the bass and other instruments for donkey's years, although as a lefty (and a poverty-stricken one at that), it's always hard to find a good axe. Currently playing a Mex Fender Jazz, which I decided to cover in black reptile-print leather the other day for no good reason, along with a 1990 Trace Elliot stack. Recently I thought the amp was done for, but a £60 service has brought it back to a very loud life. I also play guitar, keys, drums and a bit of alto sax, and have a home studio running Logic Pro off a Mac. I'm also a freelance copywriter/graphic designer, so do let me know if you need any artwork done Bass players I admire: Bruce Thomas, Norman Watt-Roy, Aston 'Family Man' Barratt Gear I want: Lefty Jaguar, MM Bongo That's about it folks. Stay groovy, Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Welcome on board Boris, good to see some love for the Costello stuff down there in sunny Brum! Wasn't your Trace rig recently in the TE porn thread? I seem to remember someone posting that they'd recently had theirs serviced after they thought it was goosed? Cheers, Paul Edited December 30, 2010 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borisbrain Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys. Paul - yup, that was my Trace rig in the porn section. Back from the dead, and louder than ever. Burrito - funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing. I'll try to get something up today! Cheers, BB Edit - and here it is!
