musicman999 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just a line to say hello to everyone in Basschat world .Joined approx a week ago Quick introduction - started playing the bass again 3 years ago after a 20 year layoff .Presently just jamming with a few guys,ramming as much theory that a middle aged brain will take, and looking to taking some lessons and take it to the next level.Played a few open mike nights and charity gigs.Into most styles,but lean towards the funkier side -60's/70's soul,70's jazz funk,80's and 90's pop.Eventually I'd like to get into/get together a function band that's not bothered about the money, but would be prepared to play charity do's and the like. Equipment wise I have a Yamaha BB414 which I do all my practicing on (great bass for the money) and this goes through a Roland 30 Cube. Gigs and open mikes- a trusty 1993 Musicman Stringray through a Yamaha BBT500 1x15 Combo. Just treated myself to a Marleaux Consat 4 string which is a great out and out funk bass. I contribute Bass tabs to www.ttabs.com -recent ones Boz Scaggs,Sting,Gibson Bros,Sade,Simply Red ,so check them out and let me know if I'm doing the bass world an injustice or not !!

ped Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Phil, welcome. We recently had a basschat gathering in Preston. I used to have a Marleaux consat but sold it a couple of years ago. Where did you get yours? Superb basses. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
