Hello all,
New guy here (yes another bloody Yank LOL), located in Atlanta Georgia USA, or 'Etlanna' as folks around here say. Found you guys whilst looking into an obscure German bass from the '80s (esh Serious Bass) which I'm hoping to get my hands on. I realise that this is s'posed to be a UK forum, but what the hey- I love making friends around the world, and a friend of mine from Nottingham thinks that I have a 'British soul,' whatever that means.
Anyway, I just play for fun rather than as a profession, but I recently joined two bands- one a sort of 'prog-pop' trio, and the other an instrumental surf quartet. I also play now and then with a very small and barely-functional church-band, but I think that one is on the ropes.
I've been playing since 1988, and was in a couple of bands back in the '90s. I'll post videos from one later (got to run back to the office in a moment).
Currently my gear includes:
'80s Kawai FIIB
'86 Aria Pro II Cat Bass, heavily modified
'86-7 Fender Performer
SWR Workingmans 15
Ampeg PF-500
Seismic 2x10
Can you tell that I love '80s basses?
Looking forward to getting to know y'all!
[edited for spelling...D'oh!]
