Maarten_E Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, First, I'd like to wish you all a happy 2012! I'm Maarten, 18 years old, and I live in the Netherlands. I stumbled upon Basschat by reading some good stories of it on the Dutch Bassguitarforum, basgitaarforum.nl I really love the bass since I was a little kid, I listened to a few albums, and I always heard a bomming sound underneath the guitars, and I couldn't discribe what it was, but after a few years I knew it was the Bassguitar. I play bass for about 2 years, and I have the following basses: '08 Squier Affinity Precision. I bought it for 15€ from a friend of mine. It plays very well, but it's looks weren't thaat good. The headstock and Pickfuard were damaged by a fire lighter , but it played really well. Some months ago, I decided to renovate the Precision, because I really like the sound of a P-bass, and I still have a normal stock Squier Jazz Bass Vintage Modified to play with. Things modified: This was here being standard: This is what she looks like now, with the following modifications: - Fender Bridge Cover - Different Lime Green Pickguard - New strings: D'Addario Nickle Flatwounds - New Fender Strap To be installed: - New Bridge - Different tuners (I'm working out how to install them of an Affinity, they seem to have different measures) - New CTS Pots - Maybe different Pickups, but I'm not sure. - The headstock will be renovated to his original condition, and it might become a MHS with the body colour. My Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass: The Jazz Bass has a simple modification: The tone knobs are the Fender ones, the black with white dial version, I'll post a good photo of them both very soon Amplification: A simple Ampeg BA-108, I don't need more Edited January 2, 2012 by Maarten_E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for the welcome! No, I don't play in a band, I'm just practicing by listening to the music I like, and play along with the bassline. Also, I watch some covers from others to learn by myself and to learn some techniques, but I think I'm too bad to play in a band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
