AlRoberts Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Hello Basschat. My name is Al Roberts. I am 27 years old, and have been playing the bass for more than thirteen years. I was born in County Durham, and now live in Newcastle. I am a veteran of the Newcastle music scene of the past few years, and have played with bands such as BERK, MASS, and ZADOK (see links below). I got into bass playing cos my hands are too big to play the guitar! To cut a long story short, I am currently in the process of selling everything I own to be with the woman I love in Germany (soppy I know). I was recommended BassChat by a friend as a means of selling my absolute pride and joy, my Fender Jazz. She's served me well in ZADOK over the past few years, but now it's time for me to start spending my time with a real woman. At the risk of blowing my own trumpet, I am a highly accomplished bass player, and spent many years playing for hours every day (listen to Zadok's Unit of Judo EP for evidence of my abilities), but now I feel it is time for a new challenge. Please visit [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182430-fender-jazz-bass-2009-american-standard-l650/"]http://basschat.co.u...-standard-l650/[/url] for my bass listing. Any help from my fellow bass players to allow me to embark on my journey would be much appreciated. Cheers. In case anyone is interested, this is the music that has taken up most of my time over the past few years (click on the links for the tracks): ZADOK (Progressive Grunge Folk): [url="http://zadokproggrungefolk.tumblr.com/UNITOFJUDOEP"]http://zadokproggrun...om/UNITOFJUDOEP[/url] BERK (Instrumental Heavy Metal): [url="http://zadokproggrungefolk.tumblr.com/BERK"]http://zadokproggrun...tumblr.com/BERK[/url] MASS (Tyne-and-Wear Aggro Prog): [url="http://zadokproggrungefolk.tumblr.com/MASS"]http://zadokproggrun...tumblr.com/MASS[/url] Edited July 24, 2012 by AlRoberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Welcome to BC Al, and good luck shifting your Fender (Not a great time for sellers at the moment though!!). Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlRoberts Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks Rick. Aye I'm aware everyone's pockets are canny shallow at the minute like, but I'd rather try to sell my Jazz through BassChat than somewhere like Ebay. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Welcome to BC, Al. Sorry that you won't be able to blow your own trumpet anymore once you are the woman you want to be, in Germany. But I do wish you the best of luck with the operations and the hormone treatment. Anyway, maybe you can stay on BC anyway, and enjoy the banter. Good luck with the sale and the woman! Best, Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hey! You changed it! "You're no fun anymore" BTW, If I had any money, I'd be all over the bass, and sadly, so will many say. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlRoberts Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Haha I had to, if my girlfriend read it and thought I was moving to Germany to become a woman she wouldn't be too impressed, and this whole plan would be for nothing! Cheers for the heads up. I hope someone is interested in buying the bass, it would be a shame to see it go on Ebay. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
