tappel Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 [size=4][font=Arial]Hello,[/font] [font=Arial]Tom Appel here from Long Island, NY. More specifically, Merrick NY, which is hometown to such luminaries as Lindsay Lohan, Debbie Gibson, Ben & Jerry, Amy Fisher etc. [/font] [font=Arial]I’ve been playing bass since I was a teen, so that means I’ve been playing most of my life (I’m now in my fifties). I play actively in local bars and clubs, as well as the occasional recording project.[/font] [font=Arial]For a period of ten years, I owned [url="http://bassguitarstrings.us"]bassguitarstrings.us[/url]. I may have sold strings to some of you. Ultimately, I proved to be a poor businessman and I shut down the site last year.[/font] [font=Arial]Looking forward to reading, and participating in, some valuable bass chat.[/font] [font=Arial]Tom[/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
