Re-introduction - new to York

[Opticaleye 117]

Hi my name's Kevin and I've been on here a while but have recently moved to the York area for family reasons.

I've been playing bass since I was 15 and I'm er.. slightly younger than Pino Palladino! 

I left my band of 10+ years (blues, funk and soul) in preparation for the move and would like to eventually find a band up here but in the meantime I have a "home studio" and a load of songs that I need to finish recording so that should keep me occupied for a while.😊

I have a love of Sandberg basses especially Umbos (I have 3 Umbos) and use TKS 1126's as cabs and Quilter and Markbass heads amongst other bits and bobs.

Hi Kevin. Welcome to York! I've been here 7 years. It's a great place to live.

PMT in Leeds have quite a nice selection of Sandbergs - I've been tempted myself.

Yeah really loving it so far. Need to get out and mingle though now.

I really don't need any more Sandbergs, 5 is too many but I can't even bring myself to think of parting with one even so...

We can't let ourselves think too much about what we NEED. If we all did that, there'd be nothing but P basses and 115 combos out there.

You won't last long with an attitude like that!!!

Repeat after me...."more is better, more is better.."
