Guest tangledfeet Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I joined several days ago and have already learnt loads just browsing, and have been made to feel most welcome already when I commented on my profile thinking it was my profile itself! I've also found a member with whom I share a mutual friend ;a former colleague for me and former band member for him - sláinte @mcnach! I've gone from nought to buying a Sire M2 in translucent blue and Ashdown Studio 8 in just over a week after seeing a colleague (he may even be on here!) at work pull out his bass from beside his desk and plugging it into the amp I hadn't noticed - and being mesmerised. I've had an acoustic for circa 25yrs but that only comes out when I find out that a guest can play the guitar; I'll be selling that on... turns out it might be worth more than I'd anticipated. I was nervous about telling Project Management, bless her wee cotton socks, about my latest middle-aged crisis investment but after she heard me play alongside a YouTube beginners video last night she's been quite positive. Besides, she's got a horse so whatever I spend on my own varied interests always pale into insignificance... It looks quite green here but the blue is more obvious in daylight and as someone who works with and appreciates wood I am utterly stunned by the aesthetics!

Richard R Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Welcome aboard!! I had colleagues who played bass who supported and encouraged me (and took the fosters as well - which helps no end 🙂 ) 3 hours ago, tangledfeet said: Besides, she's got a horse so whatever I spend on my own varied interests always pale into insignificance... That made me laugh out loud - and then had to explain to my wife what I'm laughing at on the internet 😄 Where about in Fife are you? I lived up in St Andrews for a couple of years - lovely place. If I recall correctly @Magoo1973 is up in Fife, as is @Dov65. Get the three of you together to make a racket and you could remind folks of when Leuchars was an RAF base. Edited March 13, 2021 by Richard R the profanity filter changed p*ss to fosters ;- , and I then spotted a grammar error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nice wee place! We're a few miles out of St Andrews in a tiny village known primarily for its Michelin star restaurant - Peat Inn. You're right; many folk do miss the sound of the RAF planes - almost a novelty when something noisy flies overhead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredders Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Welcome TF. Lovely looking first bass. One early Basschat tip for you. Don't go near the For Sale section. You may think you've got everything you need right now, but you'll see dozens of lovely shiny basses, amps and pedals that you "really need".... It's a slippery slope from there on 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Bitch-blues Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Well, hello to you, excellent bass and amp, don't get me going on the horse owning, let's leave that one, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
