Tim Pharoah Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hello bass community, I'm new here, I play jazz, and have done since the mid 1960s, all styles. For the past 20 years mostly big bands in London. Pre Covid I was a regular member of 4 London based 16 piece bands, and an occasional player with 2 other bands. I'm missing it all terribly. I play a mid-19th century German 3/4 flat back (originally a 3 string). Not great, but does the job. Even better since care and attention at Laurence Dixon's Bass Place (Sam Wells did the job). I bought it for £12 in 1963! Amplified via full circle bridge pick-up and a Polytone amp. Looking forward to live gigs again...

Fatfunkster Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Just saw you getting told off by ray brown on an old YouTube vid for playing too quietly and having your amp do the work. Im actually jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
