Baxlin Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Good morning all, just joined the forum, although I've been playing bass guitar for a while now. I was in bands as long ago as the 60s, sitting behind a drum kit in those days, but fed up of carrying all the gear, and with the length of time it took to set up, etc, I taught myself to play guitar. Years later, when my younger daughter was taking A level flute, and playing in a church band which had no bass player, this was my chance to learn bass! Still play regularly to congregations of a couple of hundred plus. Recently helped form a jamming band, three of us in our 70s, one aged 65, and the 'baby' in his late 50s as vocalist . Very fortunate to have a fully equipped - PA, amps, drum kit etc - garden room to rehearse in. I've just 'retired' my Epiphone EB-3, and bought a long scale semi-acoustic '335' bodied bass, mainly because I found the solid to be a bit too heavy. As I'm a member on various other, albeit mainly motoring, forums (fora?) I'm looking forward to joining in discussions/banter on here.

TheGreek Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Is your opening number "The young ones"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxlin Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks all for the welcome but no, not the Young Ones, it's 'Handle with Care', so I suppose that's almost as appropriate....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
