Pembo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hello all, I've been playing bass on & off for about 18 years. Never really focused hard enough to develop into a good bassist, but enjoy playing all the same. I have been playing in a band, based in Newport (South Wales) for about 13 years. However, our band is more of a jamming/hobby session, as opposed to trying to get any recognition, resulting in us gigging about 3-4 times per year. I've been [s]perving [/s]reading basschat for a few months now, mainly the classifieds section [u]First bass[/u] was a Kasuga Jazz bass. Lovely thick sounding humbuckers. Tried to de-fret it, which turned out very badly. [u]Second bass[/u] was a Squier Affinity Precision. Not a great bass, but served it's purpose.... [u]Third bass[/u] was a Takamine EG512C. Loved this bass and wished I never sold it Currently playing a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. I've modded it with a black Gotoh 2 bridge, black Wilkinson tuners and black vintage skirted volume/tone knobs. I love the black hardware with the black neck inlays. I've played a number of MIM Jazz's (friends/other band members) and cannot justify spending more than what my Squier cost. I'm using a Markbass SA450 and an Ashdown 15" cab. Cannot wait to get a new cab though, just need to find me a money tree first!! Anyway, that's about all from me. I'm hoping that I post as often as i'd like.

BassTractor Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hey Pembo, Welcome to BC. Looks as if you [s]perved[/s] observed at the right place. You'll find a large contingent of South Welshies here, and they team up as well, IIRC. OK, so start writing your posts, lad. We'll be all eyes. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
