operative451 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 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 Enjoy the site! best, bert classical musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) 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. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210888-june-composition-competition-voting-time/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] Maybe consider getting involved with the Bass Relay too which is taking place. There are not that many involved from the South West.

operative451 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 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. thanks for the comments on the song too! We aim to get something out every couple of weeks - coming up next : country!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
