TATTOODEVIL Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Morning all. I've been playing drums and lead guitar (not very well......) for 20 years but have decided to give bass a try as I'm sick of lugging my drums about in the car! Also, my lead playing is very limited which was another factor in trying the bass. I've just bought a Peavey Milestone 3 bass and a Torque T1001EB amp for £130 and it's a lovely set up. My average lead skills have transferred straight over to bass so I can get by with most tracks, just need to learn to keep the lead breaks under control!!

Rowbee Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yes, welcome to the forum - I started out on drums too and I found it was great training for the instrument that was my true destiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamapirate Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Welcome! It's obvious you're not meant to be a drummer - you managed to sign up to the forum. I've used an amp that looks exactly the same as that - it's a good amp - will serve you well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 In about two years time after you've got hooked on the gear and bought a couple of Ampeg 8x10's and a couple of heads, you'll wish you'd stayed with the drums. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottReederstoenail Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The same"TattooDevil"who made great custom kits out of FEPOS?Of Dolbear fame?Welcome mate.To be fair drumming gear is more collectable than bass stuff.I mean how many amps do you need.Cymbals is another matter though!

Welcome.[/quote] Hmmm... That reminds me of the days when I used to have an Ampeg 8x10 and live in a first floor flat with no lift - I used to have to lug the bleeder up a metal staircase... For each step upwards I had to adopt the posture, technique and facial expression of one of those weightlifter geezers you see on TV.
