queenofthedepths Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) I'm Anna - I've been playing bass for just under 3 years now; I'd describe myself as above average in proficiency, with a slight problem when it comes to modesty... I play a 7-string Galveston (low F#, but usually tuned down a step and a half, so that's 6 and a half steps below standard tuning ) as well as a 4-string Traben Chaos, 5-string Crafter acoustic, 6-string ESP LTD and a few other basses, including an 8-string Acepro I just bought which is surprisingly lovely My amp's a Laney HCM160B - I've had it for a while now and I'm constantly looking for a replacement, but to be honest it does exactly what I need and if I bought anything bigger I'd have nowhere to put it and no way to move it As for pedals, I use a Crybaby wah, Boss overdrive and a Boss multi-effects which does everything else I've just moved to Bristol and have yet to meet any potential band members - I'm absolutely desperate for a band, really! Playing pretty much anything - ideally metal, though... I play a bit of anything that keeps the fingers moving - doesn't have to be hard; doesn't have to be easy either; sometimes I'll just sit for a while, jamming along to whatever's playing on my laptop And hello to everyone!

queenofthedepths Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Actually that's the 8-string version of what I've got! Exactly the same but with a high F on top - I have to say that the only problem with buying one of these is that you end up paying loooads to get it into the UK...
