Quoth'd Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Morning all, My name is Simon (friends call me Si). Live in Nottingham and I've played bass off and on for almost 19 years. I've played in a couple of bands over the years - not in one at the moment but have just started looking again. Had some big rig changes last year as I was using a Hartke 3500 head with Ashdown 115 & 410 cabs but it was causing too much agro moving everything between gigs & practices & rehearsing at home. So I blew up the amp and flebayed the cabs (well blowing up the amp wasn't part of the plan & still need to get it fixed) and bought myself a nice Gallien Krueger Backline 210 combo which meets my main needs for now of 1. being small & a lot less hastle to lug around for practising etc and 2. is still loud enough to cover most gigs when needed. I play acoustic, fretless, 4 & 5 string - mostly rock but love blues, funk & am still trying to learn slap. Now have a Line6 Bass Floor Pod to go with my (mostly) custom built pedals (I like tinkering with them almost as much as using them) Main Influences are:- Chris Wolstenholme, John Deacon, Tim Commerford and Donald "Duck" Dunn and everyone and anyone else who inspires me. That's enough of me waffling on. Hi all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome, Si. You didn't tell us what basses you played. Gear is the main topic of conversation here I (despite my efforts) and people will be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
