EOS650 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Well, I hope its ok that I post here. I am not from the UK. In fact, I've never been there. I'm from the US and found this site when looking up some information on the bass. I'm 21 and I'm really new at bass. Been playing only for a month and have a squire J bass with a Fender Rumble 15 Bass Combo Amplifier. I know, not the best equipment, but all that I could afford and I really don't feel like I should be buying the best gear just starting out anyway... I just started taking lessons and a local music shop. I used to play guitar. On and off for almost 10 yrs. Got really bored with that and decided to make the switch and realized bass is 10x more fun than guitar. So...hello! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOS650 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks all! EOS 650 is Canon (camera) first camera in the EOS series. Plus, it's my first "real" camera. Next to bass, I also do quite a bit of film photography and have quite a few cameras. I do have a Flickr site that I have some of my "best" work uploaded to, but I didn't put it in my sig because it's not bass related..

I know nothing of photography though, so I shan't make a fool of myself. I shall just keep talking like I've had an eloquent tea party with Oscar Wilde. Basschat has a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=23"]photography thread[/url] lurking in the shadows, perhaps you could bring it back to life and show off a few pics (works ).

Johngh Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='43715' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:41 PM']Hello fellow bassists!! Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a long serving member over on TalkBass but thought I'd give this forum a whirl due to it's UK connection. I've been playing for 38 years now and have spent the last couple of decades heavily involved with the tribute circuit. [b]My current bands are:[/b] The Beautiful Sound - Beautiful South Tribute (I have, I believe, replaced another Basschat member). The Dan Collective - Steely Dan Tribute[/quote] Welcome Neil to the fold, good to have you around. You did replace another Basschat member in the "Sound" me ! Enjoy the gig.

I also use Holga, Pentax, Polaroid, cheap $1 cameras and I also have a Kodak Brownie. (Folding Hawk-eye Model C). I use whatever I can get. I'm not opposed to any brand.
