KahunaNui Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi there. Fairly oldish guitarist here (59 tomorrow...been playing about 45 years...poorly), who filled in on bass for a couple of years back in the early 80's, but went back to guitar. I've decided to get myself a bass again because, well, I just miss it. A post will follow shortly, begging for advice. I worked in the music trade in the late 70's & early 80's at a chain of stores called Carlsboro Sound Centres, if anyone remembers them. I'm a senior IT Engineer for the NHS, and also do graphic design and 3D modelling/rendering for a few people in the business (Wampler and Norman's Rare Guitars being the only notable ones currently). Anyroadup, here are my main planks. 1992 Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro - owned since new 1997 Les Paul Studio - not owned since new - looks like it's been chewed by a large dog, but a couple of lucky flips got me this for £235 Newish Strat - not much more to say, really Kanile'a K1T-P Tenor ukulele - pictured the day after I treated myself on my 50th birthday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzburger Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Welcome KN - Happy Birthday - you're three years younger than me and I'm just looking to re-start playing bass too after a long sloth-induced absence. Enjoy this - it's a great thing to be doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
