P-Belly Evans Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I started on the slippery slope in around '86 with a black and white encore p bass copy... Gave me the taste but I quickly moved up to the harder stuff - a Westone Thunder II version 3 with super boomers and an xlr (still have it). It is so sad but I just cannot find my favorite tipple, so my quest has been a long whisky nosed tale through the following (none of which I can bear to lose - although the wife would happily lose all but one). A yamaha fretless (why, I don't know... ah yes Jaco), a natural vm jazz with flats (bloody Watt Roy and the like), a 2013 Gibson Thunderbird... just because I was holding down a good job and coz it looks and plays beautifully - oh yes and coz I got an Epi EBO thrown in (wouldn't give me an EB3). A gorgeous black classic vibe 70s P with flats (amazing for the price - I was made redundant from said good job),and a Vintera Mustang in sea foam green (came on Tuesday - I have been off work with suspected Covid19, felt better and.. well I fell off the wagon). My amp of choice is an Ashdown mag600 rack in a gator case with a 4x10. I also have an epi les Paul custom 3 pickup SG in antique ivory and an affinity tele. That is my long and difficult story of addiction. Any advice on what to cull from the herd will probably be ignored and when another great job arrives I will no doubt add an Old Smoothie to the mix. Anyhoo bye for now........... what to play today?????? Obligatory (crap) pic below 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Belly Evans Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Ha ha, firstly, I've been a silent partner for ages on the site and love all the posts, comments and threads. Indeed my Gas will never go away (my testes may though courtesy of my, up to now, very understanding, beautiful wife). The blue bass on the sofa is indeed the best, as it was a gift from my dearly departed mom.. a dvd, book combo on how to play air guitar... blue guitar included. Brilliant! Also it keeps the two year old away from the good stuff... apart from my ukelele (bottom right), which she has already dinged on the headstock... and yes I am nearly 50 and yes I have a two year old..... Effin Rock and roll or what.... hence the tbird mid life crisis!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
