Hi all
Newbie here, last post did'nt make it, hopefully this one will.
I am almost 50 and took up the bass about 16months ago after self taught fingerstyle acoustic for about 2 years, which i still do.
I have always wanted to play bass, but work, commitments blah blah.
Anyway, my main influence is Stax volt/Motown, Dunn,Jamerson,Babbit etc
I have sang live but never played live, i've learnt about 35 songs from classics, Midnight hour, Mustang sally,Twenty flight rock etc . Also a mix of stuff, Born to run, signed sealed delivered etc. Actually quite a bit from Duck Dunn's book.
The problem is i'm working through songs on my own and then having to go back over them again, all recordings, no live experience.
I don't have an expensive set up, Squire j bass and a roland 30w practice amp. This milestone year i will be trading up tho.
What i am looking for are others players who are in the same position and want to try out some stuff and see where it goes,
or a band thats getting ready to gig (dependant on ability) i mean mine btw.
I am a bit nervous about doing so, but will never know unless i give it a go.
I work shifts so practice time is often ok.
So if there is anyone who likes the sound of that please get in touch.
Thanks for reading.
