CHW Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi all I'm a member of a pretty active guitar forum too, but there's not much bass related activity there and as bass remains my first love, I thought I'd register here and say hello. I'm in my mid 30's and have been playing for 20 odd years and 10 years ago had built up a decent array of kit, I then found myself asked to play a lot more guitar than bass and ended up selling on my bass stuff bar odd bits and pieces. When I joined a classic rock covers band last summer I found myself back on Bass (and loving it). Am currently stealing my daughter's 4 string Epi EB0 (It's the short scale budget one) or playing a cheap Wesley 5 string (which is a beast to play and lug about but sounds surprisingly good) through a 1x15 300W Laney cab and head. I'm not the most technically gifted player but get by as I pick things up pretty quickly which has always meant that I've got gigs- I've played in live originals and covers bands and have done a fair number of functions playing with a couple of ceilidh and barn dance bands.

alyctes Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 well, if that lot isn't enough of a welcome, there's not much I can do... welcome aboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHW Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Once you dabble in ceilidh it can be hard to go back- simple driving rhythm that's all about pulse and lift, added to having 100 people up dancing at each and every gig. Viking hats are optional- cowboy hats are an abomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
