Tweedledum Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi, german bass player wanting to join, if that's okay with you guys... Some facts about me: - first picked up the electric bass in 1987 when I was 15/16 - I like old Fenders (yeah, I know...) and small tube amps - I play in two bands (Rock and Praise&Worship) So much for now. Looking forward to some interesting and inspiring bass chat, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yup! It's OK, even though Discreet thinks the same. I'm just looking at the Fife contingent. Enjoy! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Welcome Chris. Which part of Germany do you live in? I used to spend time in Ludwigshafen/Mannheim during my BASF days. A fine country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm not going to inflict my terrible German on you but welcome Chris. My old band went around Germany and did a few shows back in 2010, great country and I'd like to go back again at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Hughes Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hey Chris - and welcome. Mainz is a good place, did a good gig there once in the SWR studios. I've just come home from a five week tour of Germany. Been touring there since 2001, about 10 tours by now, and sadly the most I can say is 'Ein cafe zum mit nehmen' and I'm sure I've just spelt that wrong. Anyway - welcome and enjoy!!!

[/quote] Perfect! I've just sent it off to my friends, who actually thought they had come up with it off the top of their head. Let's be honest, if you think you've thought of something that hasn't been done, a German or American has probably already done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
