JackieJab Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Hi all 33 year old living in Beds. I’ve been learning for about nine months, been having lessons for six months and loving it! I love rock, punk, metal and a bit of prog but enjoy playing anything really. I’ve started to get into the blues, any recommendations for fast/hard bluesy bands much appreciated! i’ve got a MIM P that I play through a Fender Rumble 150 and a few pedals: ODB-3, LMB-3, pitch black tuner and Berlinger BDI21. Stuck them all on my first pedalboard today. Before getting lessons I played with a pick exclusively but i’ve since learned to play with my fingers and even prefer it now. i’ve been lurking for a while but feel it’s time to get stuck in, seems like a friendly place to discuss all things bass! Cheers Edited June 25, 2018 by JackieJab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no connection to those knobs from Oasis. Loads on YT - here's your starter for free: Tesco had "The Irish Tour" in their cheap CD bin for £5....I bought a copy leaving the vinyl copy safe in my record collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Welcome! Not classic, but Virgil and the Accelerators were my favourites - sadly now split up, but there's stuff on BandCamp and YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Welcome Jackie. I'll second the nomination for Rory Gallagher. A proper seventies performer. If you can find anything by The Bogey Boys they're worth a listen too. It's great to see former lurkers stepping up. Good on yer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
