Clarky Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi all, am a competent (but no more) bass player who plays in a punk/psychobilly band called Kismetik (http://www.myspace.com/kismetikmw). We started early this year and have played 3 gigs in London area (eg Hope & Anchor) and have three lined up in next month. Used to be in death metal band Nyx. Like all those over their 30s I have a Spinal Tap-sized collection of basses, including a Gibson SG bass, 1980 Rock 4001 FG, 1976 Rick 3000 FG, and a couple of Fender Japanese P's (one for sale on Forum)! Basically I like all loud guitar-based music be it Led Zep, Metallica, Pistols or Stone Roses or Joy Division. Not picky as long as its, yes you guessed it, loud and guitar-based! Happy with my bass collection (albeit it needs slimming down - I also have an ESP Ltd Tom Araya bass that I would consider selling with Sims LEDs) but would like a lightweight head for practices (Markbass F1?). My rig for gigs is Tech 21 Landmark 300 head plus Markbass 106HR cab. I also have an Aguilar GS112NT which I would like to pair with lightweight head for practice/smaller gigs. Nice talking to you!

Clarky[/quote] Hi Clarky from a fellow Ricky. This is a cool site. I joined a few weeks back and already have gained massive amounts. Great chat, really informed opinions and I got the gig with a great band called Six Miles Away. Hope your experience here is as good as mine.
