Hello all, been lurking for some time and pleased to see a great, active forum free of d***heads.

I'm 49, Welsh born & bred but Newcastle based for years and consider myself musically transgendered, meaning a bassist trapped in a guitarist's body. Been playing 6 strings on and (mainly) off for 30 years and never got any good and now that my teenage son has rocketed past me in ability, I'm giving more attention to 4 strings, which is what I should have done all along.

I've got a trusty old '89 Korean Squier Jazz (newly fitted with pickups supplied by The Bass Doc), no proper bass amp or budget for one so it's a slightly unusual amp choice of my Laney Lionheart 5W Class A valve amp at home - surprisingly good tone for bass practice!

I'm a simple soul into simple rigs and back in the day, loved playing our bassist's Mustang through the pub's Selmer PA amp into a Sound City 412. Gigged a couple of years back with borrowed Ashdown/Trace Elliot 410+115 stacks which was rather fun and now looking to do more of the same.

Glad to be here!

Dunno about that. We sometimes have heating discussions, and then some people soon start insulting:

;) :D


Anyway, enjoy!

You're in good company. I'm a lunatic trapped in the body of a weasel, trapped in the mind of Michael Gove.
Stamp out bourgeois revisionism! And another thing - why oh why can't we ever... (cont. p94)

Welcome to the forum. :)
