FunkSoulBassLover Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hello there, my name is Dominic I'm aged 27 years old and I live in Hyde in Tameside near Manchester. I'm looking to make new friends on here and find out about anything to do with Bass really! also looking for Bass Tutor within Greater Manchester who's easier enough to get to from me aswell. Im a huge fan of bass players such as Larry Graham, Louis Johnson, Billy Bass Nelson, James Jamerson, Bob Babbit, Mark King, Bill Dicksens, Billy Sheehan, Keith Horne, Roscoe Black, Robert Trujillo and many more! I'd love to play soul, groovy, funk, r&b, bluesy and country kinda stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckendrick Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Greetings FunkSoulBassLover.... Welcome from a former (years and years ago, mind) fellow Tamesider - although it's that long ago 'Tameside' hadn't even been considered as a name for the area! Lived in Ashton when I was a kid, still got some good mates in the Gorton and Burnage areas. Can't give you any contacts in Manchester until much later Thursday - by which time you will hopefully have had a stack of replies from people more local to you helping you out with your request. They're a great bunch on here. You'll end up with a stack of great tips and more help than you could have hoped for! Keep it here, man.
