Kevsy71 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 HI everyone, I'm Kevin, from Tonbridge in Kent, and have just started bass again after a 20 year hiatus! Have been jamming pub rock numbers with mates with a view to playing the local pub in summer, bit of Nine Below Zero and Feelgood to start with. Picked up a discounted Vintage EST986 (St***ray) knocked down to £170 because of a miniscule scratch, not bad at all; and a furry TE GP7 SM combo which is plenty loud enough for the pub! I've promised myself not to upgrade the bass until I've got better than it, which won't be for some time...but having a history of the dreaded GAS (especially in my other hobbies of vinyl playback, cycling, comics) I'm sure the inevitable will occur - doesn't help that I walk past a genuine 4 HH Stingray every day in Tonbridge's Vintage American Guitar shop! In fact the only hobby I have which can't involve GAS is Taekwon-do, although that would change quickIy if bionic leg implants were available... Looking forward to chatting with you all Cheers Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The American Guitar Centre is a lethal place, I can't go there anymore. Too many Alembics. Welcome, Kevin! Although if you want to avoid GAS, you've really come to the worst place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
