SimBass Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hey guys, this site looks great! I've used TalkBass quite a bit but the US contingency is a bit over whelming so I'm glad I came across this site! A bit about me: I've been playing bass for around 6 years, mainly in Jazz bands (just left Newcastle University Jazz Orchestra - due to graduating not being thrown out) love playing in funky small jazz bands as well as the big band stuff. I also play at my church thats 1500 people worth of church so its great fun! Just moved down to sunny south lincolnshire where there seams to be a destinct lack of jazz and funk... [boooo]. So let me know if you guys know of anything happening that I've missed. My current setup is a Warwick Streamer LX 6 String Fretless and a custom made 6 string fretted (Alan Grey is the named builder for the body other parts I've been told are washburn), bought off my old bass tutor I play through a LMII amp and mark bass traveller 15P 15 "cab....which I love!! So thats me...looking forward to joining in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalker Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Simbass Welcome to the fold, I hope you find it rewarding. The nearest member to where you live (as far as I can tell) is Tinman - he may be able to give you more information on what's happening near you.

paul, the Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Welcome Simbass, You ought to be the one to introduce Jazz/Funk to lincolnshire. Make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hey Neighbour. Welcome. Unfortunately I know nothing of the jazz scene in the region. The best guy for that would probably be a nice fella called OutToPlayJazz, he's based somewhere near the Humber Bridge. Anyhoo, welcome friend, enjoy.

SimBass Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks for the friendly welcome. yeah my fears confirmed I seam to have had my worst fears confirmed...lincolnshire just doesn't have the funk! who knows when I'm a bit more settled (only been here a month) maybe I'll introduce the locals to some new words "funk", "groove", "jazz" as well as teaching them to drive over 15mph! LOL i'm just a city guy stuck on the edge of the fens!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
