grtz Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hello all, I've been reading this forum for a while now and find it enjoyable and informative. So I thought it's about time I introduced myself, so here goes: I'm a bass player from the Netherlands, and I enjoy playing in bands and at sessions. I've had a hiatus of about 10 years which I regret, but since I started playing again a few years ago I find myself enjoying myself much more. Needed some maturing I guess. I currently play in a band called MrOrange, which is a cover band, playing rock and pop classics. You can find us at [url="https://www.facebook.com/mrorangemusic"]https://www.facebook.com/mrorangemusic[/url] We recently made a demo cd and are lining up gigs, some of which are fairly large considering we've not been playing together for that long. The demo does help. If you're interested you can listen to the tracks on sound-cloud: [url="http://soundcloud.com/luke-salvatore"]http://soundcloud.com/luke-salvatore[/url] Also, I made a video for Youtube for one of the songs: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mocgB6oSNQo[/media] Ok, that's enough gratuitous plugging of that band :-) One of the reasons I joined BC is because I wanted to upgrade my equipment and needed some unbiased info. On the strength of the information I read here I recently bought two EBS 112 classic line cabs. I had an old Ashdown mag115, which to me sounded too boomy, hence the changeover. I use a Warwick ProFet 5.1 which I got in a great deal. It does the job nicely for now. Oh, and a bass, yes, I do own a bass. A Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. It plays and sounds great. A picture of the rig (with one cab) & the bass &the band are attached. Talk to you soon, Cheers, Grtz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hoi Grtz, Welkom bij Baspraatje! I'm sure you'll enjoy. (My sister lived under the smoke of the PGEM for many years - you might even know her.) Talk to ya, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grtz Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Can't say I know every "sister" in Nijmegen, but yes I might ;-)... Thanks for the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hehe. She was a flautist and background singer, that's why. Gonny Vijn's her name. Her man André de Groot used to be a DJ and gear technician in Nijmegen. Anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
