Bassman1974 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Hi, New dude here from Thurso in the Highlands. Playing around 5 years now. Just turned 49 years old. I'm well late to the party ! Gear: 2006 Fender Precision MIA 2008 Fender Jazz Standard MIA 1964 Hofner 500/1 - Bit of a case queen this one nowadays 2016 Hofner 500/1 Ignition Le Marquis N.Y Jazz - Year unknown Peavey Zephyr - For sale Owned a Ric 4001 for a few years, but ultimately fell out of love with it as my playing changed. That one went a few weeks ago. I'm in 3 bands, but in all honestly, I'm not a huge fan of playing in front of people. Maybe it's a confidence thing, or it's because I'm a massive introvert. That said, I do greatly enjoy playing 🙂 Cheers Edited April 20, 2023 by Bassman1974 Incorrect wording 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Welcome Bassman. You're not late to this at all. We have many mature members some of whom are starting from scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackroadkill Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Hi, fellow older beginner here. I "played bass" - read "owned a bass" when I was in my late teens and then for some reason decided that guitar was cooler, so I did that instead until last year, when I bought another bass and I've not looked back. BC has been very good to me so far and the natives are very welcoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Welcome aboard! Thurso is a lovely place. Just a shame most of us are too far away from there. Though of course, if we all did live closer then it would spoil the area completely! Edited May 20, 2023 by Richard R Bad grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's to do with the expansion of the Universe...years ago, when you were a mere lad, we would have lived closer together. Hopefully somebody here will be able to tell us by how much. 😉😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
