bigjay1404 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello to everyone on the Basschat website. I thought it's about time I joined as I always seemed to end up on here for advice! I'm 42 and have been mucking about with basses since I was 13 and was inspired by to play John Taylor from Duran Duran (Oh the shame!) then I discovered John Entwistle, Paul Mcartney, Andy Rourke, Peter Hook, Bruce Thomas, Mani and J.J. Burnel to name but a very few. I started with an Ibanez Blazer Bass, then 2 Aria pro ll basses (John Taylor again!) Musicman Stingray, Fender Precision (white with black scratchplate just like Sid's) and a white Fender Jazz copy. As usual, finances dictate selling when times are hard so I'm currently using a Stingray copy in black with maple neck with naughty pre Ernie Ball Musicman headstock decal. As for bands, I was in a local punk band called The Pits til the singer went mental (if only he'd had Syd Barrett's talent). I'm now in a local band called the Attic Rats, and if the singer tells me to turn down or play less once more I think I'll batter him! Recently I've been scouring the web looking for a decent Ric copy and bassassin's and karlfer's threads have given me some great info. The forums always seem helpful and friendly and I'm glad to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
