Hi! I’m Harry, I’ve been rocking the casbah since ‘97!

I played piano for 5 years up until I was 14 when my piano teacher moved away - I never got a new teacher and I slowed my playing down far too much. I was very soon bored of not playing anything but still loved music and listened to it all the time - mostly favouring rock and metal (Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Alter Bridge and the like) but randomly heard Something About You by Level 42 one day and I thought the bass sound and bass line were really great! Soon after, a few mates were starting a band and needed a bassist. Having a fresh interest in the bass thanks to Mr King, I purchased my first bass, a Peavey Millenium AC BXP which I still own and still think sounds killer! We started playing loads of Iron Maiden and Sabbath stuff but since playing bass, I’ve listened and played a much wider range of music than my angsty teenage metalhead could have imagined, now playing funk/jazz/80’s pop but still loving to rock out too! I now play in an all-originals modern rock band!

My original gear was the Peavey bass and a Peavey Tour TKO 115 combo. After about a year I got a MIM Jazz Bass Standard, then after about a year and a half got an AMVI ‘74 Reissue Jazz Bass. About a year ago I significantly upgraded my amp to a Darkglass Microtubes 900 and matching 410 cab. In July I picked up a Spector Legend NT (Aguilar version!) and then last week, paying homage to the man that made me want to play bass in the first place, I finally got myself a Status S2 Classic! Haven’t sold any of my gear either as I love all of the basses to pieces haha!

Thanks for reading and I can’t wait to get involved in the forums!
