Bret Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi, Everyone. My name's Bret and I'm a casual bass player not mention a huge Peter Hook fan. I've been playing off and on for many years but despite a couple of live gigs under my belt I still consider myself a beginner. My current rig is: Dillion DB 335-004 Bass Trace Elliot Series 6 AH500X w/GP12 Preamp Trace Elliot Redline 4x10 Cabinet Vintage EHX Clone Theory EHX LBP-1 Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Delta Lab MD-1 Metal Distortion Cheers!

Gust0o Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, you've got most of us beat - as we all know, playing ability comes second to looking cool; and that looks cool. What a lovely bass! Welcome in chief, enjoy Basschat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey Bret, Welcome to BC, and congrats with your beautiful, almos' perfec' name! You're in, of course, after that great introduction, and right now, there are only two formalities left: 1) We need to know more about the Dillion bass 2) We need to know more about the helmet After those things are dealt with, you're fully fledged. Anyway, enjoy the site, the info, the discussion and the banter! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 [quote name='Bret' timestamp='1361901531' post='1992798'] Hi, Everyone. My name's Bret...[/quote] Good evening, Bret, and welcome to the forum... I see you're starting out right, with a semi-acoustic bass, for which I heartily approve. Of course I'm slightly less impressed by the dance steps, but then again, I'm old. I can't see where you've posted your home address (either an oversight, or perhaps the mods here have it already..?) This will be required for the Ceremony of Initiation; a mandatory event for all US citizens posting here, as you know. Don't worry about the cost; there are excellent financial institutions that we can recommend. You may even be able to keep your home (although that's not guaranteed...). As for the medical bill: the Ceremony has been amended to only leave internal scarring (plus the burns, naturally...), so a short convalescence could be hoped for. Don't forget the rubber duck, however, or there will be bedlam. The last who neglected this important detail is still unaccounted for, all these months later. Enjoy the Ceremony (as will we all...), and again: welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my info, I'll get you in touch with this Nairobi prince I know; he has my bank account numbers. Should the duck be a mallard or traditional yellow one?

Dad3353 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ah..! I'm sorry; if You'd posted today's secret passwords ('yellow one'., but you knew that, of course..) in your original post I'd have not troubled you. We'll be discrete with the bank numbers, naturally. Now to hop over to the 'Basses' forum to find out how a Dillion compares to a Verithin...
