bedfordborn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi all, I gave up playing in 1979, which seems a lifetime away (it nearly is). Used a 4001 stereo with a Kustom Chanute Kansas 250 and 2x15 Electro-voice cab, playing mid 60's to early 70's white blues and progressive rock. Picked up a bass for the first time since then 3 months ago at my son in laws place. We had been out for a few beers and came back and I suggested we have a jam. He handed me a Fender Jazz which was gorgeous and a dream to play. He hooked up a Les Paul and off we go straight into "You Shook Me". Fantastic! Feels like I've never been away and I'm loving it. Got myself a second hand EB3 and a Fender practice amp, but I'm already looking for something to shake the floor a little. I'm a granddad now and my finger dexterity isn't what it was, but what the hell, I'm in heaven. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Welcome back to the low end ! I had a twenty year break and am loving playing again. Back then I had crap gear, now I have three Fenders,an SX and a Takamine acoustic. All I need is a Sub, a Ricky and a Hofner Beatle bass But the biggest difference between gear then and now, are those light D class micro amps that pump out triple the watts of my old beasts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Like many others I took a break before picking up a bass again about 8 years ago - this time around I can afford the gear I just dreamed about years ago. Loads of great gear out there now...watch out for the GAS though.. Oh yeah, welcome back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
