dogload Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just saying '[b]hello[/b]' from the currently cold, windy and wet, North East coast of England, near the mouth of the Tyne. Been registered hear for about six months, but erm, forgot! Anyhoo, I'm a guitarist and part-time bassist. My bass playing is limited mainly to recording, so I don't have a bass rig as such. Bass-wise I have an old Hohner Arbour PJ type (my No.1), Fender Jazz (Mexican '92-ish) and a Hohner 'violin' copy (from 1991), as well as a borrowed Deusenburg Star bass. These go straight into the PC and then into IK's Ampeg amp model. Fave bassists: Lemmy, Bill MacCormick, Mike Howlett, Les Pattinson, Paul McCartney, Jack Casady, Geezer Butler, Colin Moulding, Steve Kilbey and probably loads more.

dogload Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well thanks for the warm welcome you chaps! Makes a nice change to meet local types. Now, full of caffeine and lured by the gorgeous sunshine streaming through the window, I am [i]very[/i] uncharateristically going to do some gardening... which will probably involve removing a load of neighbour's cat poo! Ah the joys of impending springtime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
