Martin Olsson Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Hi there! I´m Martin, a bass player from Sweden. Work as a freelance musician and play both electric and upright basses, and do sometimes gigs on guitar too. I´ve played bass for over 20 years now. Studied at the College of Music in Gothenburg, Sweden. Studied jazz and other things there. My main bass is a bass I´ve built from parts I collected from various places. It turned out sounding very good, so I´ve been playing that bass exclusively for 6 years now. It´s a jazz bass: [attachment=166706:10517521_10203443589265384_4672057380858924620_n.jpg] As shown in the not so great photo; my amp is an Aguilar Tonehammer 500 and two Aguilar SL112 cabs. I got them a month ago and my previous rigg, Aguilar AG500SC and two GS112 were sold to a friend. Can´t say that the new rigg sound better in every aspect, but it´s a lot lighter. Here my upright bass, although laying down in this photo: [attachment=166708:bild2.jpg] I also have a cheap, acoustic Ibanez bass that actually sounds really good, that I use sometimes. I tend not to use that many fx pedals, but I have some laying around like a wah, envelope-pedal, octaver etc. But use them like once a year or so... Here´s my youtube channel where I´ve posted some lo-fi vids, but my intention is to post stuff of better quality.

BassTractor Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hej, och välkommen, Martin! Hoppas du gillar vårt forum, och att det kan bliva ditt också. I'm with you on the Belgian beer! Luvverly stuff - from The Eleventh Commandment to Sudden Death to The Devil - - and everything inbetween. But you're called Martin, eh? We already have a Martin, so I'll have to call you Little Milton (Sorry, mate. Harmless little inside joke.) Anyway, enjoy!
