WinterMute Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Hi all, been browsing the forum for a while, thought I'd sign up and say hello. Been playing bass for 30 years, used to gig a lot, but got into recording in the mid 80's and got restricted to session and the odd jam. I'm a pro recording engineer, 24 years and counting. I specialise in band recording, mainly rock and indie, and I'm still of the opinion that 2" analog tape sounds better than anything on the market (good job I've got access to an Otari MTR90 isn't it?), but I now do most of my work in Protools. I've been lecturing at Thames Valley University in Ealing W London for the last 10 years, I lecture in Non-linear Recording and Audio Post Production, and I'm responsible for designing the Uni's studios and labs. I'm a Mac evangelist, been recording with Macs for years, converted the entire Music tech dept at TVU to Apples as soon as I could and never went back. I sold my Warwick thumb 5 last year to a lovely bloke in the US, I hadn't played it for 2 or 3 years and it was a real shame, it was one of the early 5 thumbs, a real beauty, but it's in a better place now.... This year I decided to pick up a couple of 4 strings to get back into playing, and I now have a Squire VM fretless and a Line 6 Studio 110 combo. The VM's getting a badass 11 and some Wizard 64's over the next month or so, but I'm just getting back into the swing of playing (sore fingers and blisters anyone?). I have a dbx 160 and some neat outboard to play with too. I'm in the market for a Geddy Lee jazz as well, I might drop a post into the wanted forum. ATB and see you all on the boards Edited May 3, 2009 by WinterMute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Indeed it is mate, Squires doing fine, got some roundwounds on it, looking at some Wizards at some point and probably a better bridge, but I want to get the Geddy Lee sorted out first. I see your a bit of a martial artist too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It complimented my Rugby playing very well (balance, strength etc) but since having 3 Achilles ops I had to stop. When I get the all-clear from my surgeon I may try it again. It sounds like a lot of hard work to me now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
