rushers Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey everyone, figured I should introduce myself, I've been playing bass for about 4 years now and I am going to BIMM (Bristol Institute of Modern Music) in October to study for a BA in professional musicianship - 3 year course. After that, hopefully will have the qualifications and skills to do session work in between performing with my band, who are also moving down to Bristol. If anyone is interested here's a link to our EP, which you can download for free http://lieslieslies.bandcamp.com/ My current rig is Dingwall ABZ V --> Line 6 G30 Wireless --> Boss Tu-2 --> MXR M133 --> EHX Freeze pedal --> TC Electronic BG500 2x10 I am about to purchase a Genz Benz 9.2 head and a Vanderkerly 112EXT cab. hopefully if I have any money left over (which I doubt), I will also be able to get a Darkglass B3k. I am keen to experiment with effects with bass also, if anybody can recommend some effects that'd be cool. I have recently subsribed to bass guitar gazing and have done a fair amount of journalistic work, so I would also like to think I could write for No Treble or Bass guitar magazine at some point in the near future. Here's my cover of The Arusha Accord's 'Dead To Me' - I've had some lessons with their bassist Luke Williams and he approaches it in a really different way that I think is overlooked, check them out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1MdWwiBrvM& I could go on but I'll save the ranting. Cheers guys and girls. Rushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Already two people hating you intensely. Not a very good start, what? Welcome, Rushers. I hope you'll stick around so we can get to hear your development. Good luck! From today I like Fanned Metal. Enjoy the forum!

yepmop Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi Rushers Welcome and have fun. Oh how I wish I was young again and be able to do things correctly (Music Wise) by learning the theory and then going to Uni to progress more. Good luck with Uni and the band!

I will be doing the same course only in Brighton and only the first year as a Pro Dip. I'm going to be 50 however and I would swap all my basses for some of your youth (well maybe not the Geddy Lee!). Enjoy your studies. The world needs more good bassists.
