Hi from Switzerland

Hi...
I play bass... I have been playing for almost 40 years... I'm 52 right now...
I'm always looking for learning something new, and It's nice to take advantage
of it, to brush up on my poor english too...
I've got some beautiful basses wich will be introduced to you one by one...
I think you'll apreciate my wonderful vintage Fender Basses...
I'm an Italian born in Argentina, living in Geneva-Switzerland since 1980...
I hope I would be able to bring something from my own experience to this forum.

Best Regards
Pepe

The pictures here bellow, show real Vintage Fender basses, among them:
An Olympic White Precision Bass, and a Sunburst Jazz Bass, both 1965
"L Series" wich are my oldest basses (until now).

:) Welcome. Like the basses. I just got back from Zurich yesterday. Nipped over to see my daughter (I'm another ancient bass player). My first trip to Switzerland for over 40 years! I should have been before. Lovely people. Thriving jazz scene. I must take in some music next time I'm over.

Hello Pepe,

A belated welcome. And an obligatory - your basses are gorgeous, you lucky xxxxxxx - And a lovely country you live in too - I had a few shows there earlier this year, in Winterthur and Basel. It was in March, so still plenty of picturesque snow. I'm back there again in January - glutton for punishment, it'll be FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, welcome, and enjoy. gareth

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='646280' date='Nov 5 2009, 03:53 PM']Thanks indeed for the offer. Forgive my geographic ignorance - how close/far is Geneva from Basel or Winterthur?[/quote]

Basel-Geneva 250 Km = 155,4 Miles almost 2 and a half hours by car

Wintertour-Geneva 299 Km = 185,8 miles almost 3 hors by car
