Colonel Saunders Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi new member here, as yet not a clue how the site works so hoping this goes out. How did I end up playing bass, well the story is 6 years ago I was playing sax and clarinet. Went to a local open mike night and rarely got an invite to play. Each week the organiser says we'll have a bass player next week, each week bass no show. So I go and buy me a bass learn Brown Sugar, turn up following week bass in tow, and when they played their usual Brown Sugar I was up, and the rest is History. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Good evening, Brian, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. And now the MD says, each week, 'We'll have a sax player next week', but there never is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Saunders Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I finally worked out how to post. A bit wary when it says start a new topic, could have landed me somewhere out of space !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Saunders Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I was doing some business with The Greek recently and he suggested I join BC. Takes a while to get acquainted with new sites but getting the hang of it a wee bit. What forums do you recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe dip in for a page or two of each subject that takes your fancy, and hope to be agreeably surprised..? There are few duff ones, anyway, so you'll not be risking much. There are those contributors whose style may seem abrasive on occasion, but much is banter and good humour, so stay any ill judgement until you get to know folks a bit better. Other than that, just jump right in; the water's lovely..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Welcome Colonel Saunders. Still no chance of getting your secret recipe for fried chicken I suppose? I wouldn't worry about not knowing how the forum works. We had an overhaul of the entire forum (software and host) recently so nobody else does either! Glad you have another string to your bow given that you had to stop playing brass and woodwind. You're in excellent company you know. Lots of horn players crossed over to the fundamental strings and became accomplished bassists. Nate Watts for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Welcome Brian Glad you managed to sort out the technical aspects of being a member of this forum.... Brian is going to be an asset to this forum, a great fella who has gone to great lengths to make sure that the Bass I bought from him arrives safe and sound. Having that extra wind instrument knowledge on hand is going to be helpful for me anyway (PM on the way). Advice?? Stay away from the "For sale" threads - guaranteed to eat your money...
