Hello

[BaBaRe]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm Bado, Scotland based musician.

I have been playing bass guitar for 30+ years and double bass for 25.

I do a lot of original music, a fusion trio, a harp and double bass duo, a world music group and also sideman work with singers, and a 50's r'n'r band. I've composed four full scores for theatre and continue to explore different avenues of expression with multiple instruments and diverse lineups. 

I play a Shen double bass with a wonderful Dolling german bow and spirocore weich strings.

My main bass guitars are a '94 Yamaha TRB5F fretless with heavy Rotosound '66's and an '80 Hohner P-bass copy with light LaBella flats.

I play through a TC Classic 450 combo which was a kind of prototype or first version of the rebel heads with a 2x10 cab that accommodates the head. It's neat and loud and transparent, that I like.

 I have had an account here a good while ago, but being also a father of two, I didn't have a lot of time for forums.

I came back on to participate in discussions, share opinions and learn about gear and exciting music from all of you.
