JohnnyLightyear Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just a quick note of introduction... What an awesome community! When I was first introduced to the internet back in 199something i couldn't work out why it was better than C-fax on the telly... now I know! I'm 25 based in London and been playing about 12 years now. I mainly do session work at the moment- functions and club gigs and the odd recording date, but have a project bubbling away with some jazz minded friends too. Due to changing commitments, gigs etc (- also, I'd love to start an originals project, especially something instrumental with a strong slice of bass) plus financial pressures I think I'm going to have to start reorganizing my self and my rigg- possible with some buying and selling involved at some point. Its great to find a group of like minded and enthusiastic people who can give advice and recognise quality when they see it. Ebay makes me shudder! Thanks again, I'm going to do a bit of exploring now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLightyear Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks Neepheid, as I forgot to mention my gear: Ibanez 5 string Ergodyne EDA905 for live shows and practice. Spector 5 string NS5XL USA series, strictly for studio work. Yamaha 4 string (not sure which type- looks like an old school gig maker) which I've converted into a fretless with nylon wound strings. Amp wise I've been committed to combos due to a need to get around without a motor for a while. I used to have a roland DB500 until it collapsed. Now I play through a Ashdown MAG 300, although I have just recently got my hands on a Trace Elliot 715 which sounds great at home, although I'm yet to gig it. Its perhaps a bit too similar to the Ashdown to justify keeping once you add a compression peddle to the mix. Photos will follow soon!
