Hello! I'm a bass playing (surprise) girl from sunny (er) plymouth... Played guitar for years, got kind of bored with it but rescued a bass from a friend's dad's shed, resprayed it, rewired it (sort of, pickup straight to output) and its revitalised my love of music..!

I play in a sort of band with a mate from work, link, see banner in my signature (hopefully that's worked) its a comedy music thing - sort of mitch benn / tim minchin inspired, which means we get to play around in lots of different styles...

The bass is a marlin from the 80s (it has a sticker on saying made in the GDR!), it goes through a bunch of cheap joyo pedals and a wah, into a guitar practice amp, and surprisingly sounds ok, in a JAMC goes funkadelic sort of a way...

So yes, hello!

Hi Op.451,


Welcome to BC!
That was a nice intro you wrote - it has great atmosphere. Then again, I know zilch about the language of the Brits.

Don't listen to SpaceChick. She's only a classical musician. One should never listen to classical musicians.
That said, there's lots of girls on here, so you are in good female company :P

Enjoy the site!


best,
bert
classical musician

Hi & welcome. Good to see another female bassist. Also good to see another BC member from Devon. I live in Torquay now but grew up in and around Plymouth. In fact I used to play a Marlin when I lived in Plymouth in the 80's. I can't remember what I did with it, maybe I sold it to your friends dad? I still pop down to Plymouth, not for the music scene but for the bike night on the Hoe during the summer. Always a good ride on the the local back roads.

I too checked out your link and found the Jeremy Clarkson song very amusing. You should check out the monthly composition competition here. I have just been listening and had a very hard time voting.

Maybe consider getting involved with the Bass Relay too which is taking place. There are not that many involved from the South West. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196941-the-bass-relay-thread/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url]

Hi! Thanks for all the responses, and yay other girl bassists!! Ok, i'm probably a bit of to be called a 'girl', but 'woman bassist' sounded odd. :D thanks for the comments on the song too! We aim to get something out every couple of weeks - coming up next : country!! :D
