JakeFoordBass Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Hello Everybody! Just getting into this Bass Chat malarky and enjoying it! I've been playing for around 12 years now, starting with rock like most "because a band needed a bass player" but then realised bass was the superior instrument to everything else! I'm now playing lots of Funk/Soul/Latin and Folk/Acoustic and loving it! Gear wise, I'm only just getting back into the gear geekery and loving it. I have a 5 string Jazz Deluxe (always interested in 5 string Jazz hybrids if people are getting rid) which I play through an Ampeg Rocket and sometimes a clapped out homemade cab with a Warwick head. Also have an NS NXT5 EUB (my old aria swb lite one EUB on the marketplace). Got a sansamp bass driver DI and T.Rex Squeezer, not much into pedals otherwise! Bands wise check out: [url="http://www.myspace.com/6ixtoys"]6ix Toys[/url] And: [url="http://www.paxrecords.com"]Orquesta Buenos Tiempos[/url] Which was recorded partly in Cuba with Mongo Santamaria's nephew Roberto, which was awesome! For most recent stuff. Have toured all over the place, as far as China and regularly gig in Europe. Love the lowend and love playing music full stop! Thanks for having me!

risingson Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Alright Jake, it's Liam from LIPA Hope you're well mate, saw you were doing a few open mic nights round town @ Noble House? May well pop down and say hello! For the rest of you chaps, Jake is a marvelous bass player, his band 6ix Toys are well worth looking out for if you're in and around the Liverpool area, severe funk of the highest caliber!
