xray Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Decided you're intellect, imagination and humour deserve further examination so I joined. I'm a part time worship bassist that's been playing about 4 years. Classic rock, blues and praise music is my thing, although, I love Simon Gallup and the Cure about as much as my kids. Don't know if Paul Wolfe frequents this site or not, but I find his Youtube videos and instructional site to be very applicable to my progress as I countinuely "try" to become a better bassist. To me it's the best thing out there besides private lessons which I can't afford. Yes, sadly I'm in the over 50 club! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hey Xray, Welcome! Both to BC and to the Wise Fools Club. Personally, I'm happy you're only a part-time worship bassist. 40 hours a week could be a bit much even for bassist worshippers. God, Art, Surfing? You've got GAS! Enjoy! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nothing wrong with being in the over 50 club. I wouldn't want to be 20 again, frankly. Though if you're still surfing (and indeed, reading) then it sounds like you're not doing too badly! [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xray Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for the swell comments!! The great thing about playing bass is you never master it and you learn something new every day. Looking forward to all your insight on improving my skills. I have the staples: a AV P bass and AV jazz and a Gibson Thunderbird (my Cure go to ax) playing through a Ampeg SVT-CL with a GB Neo 2x12..Church is solid DI. Still haven't bought into the whole Class D amp thingy. Love to get my hands on one of the small Ashdown tube amps LB-30 or the CTN-15.

[/quote] Sorry, i just found that beautifully ironic Welcome, our transatlantic, god fearing, bass playing, surfing, reading friend! I'm sure you'll find plenty here to read, surf, fear, and play with. Oh yes, it's a real Aladdin's cave of stuff! Anyway, enjoy! Swing low, sweet chariot... of bass!
