Hi from Cheshire, NW UK, have been playing bass for about 4/5 years or so, since uni. My basses of choice are a Crafter and Encore short scale, and I'm also thinking about getting a travel bass to play with a mate in York. Currently bandless, but looking at a few promising opportunities. In terms of the rig, I have a Laney RBX 3, and have played through a friend's Hartke cabs, as well as a Classic Cantabile, (some German amp...). Am constantly looking for new and interesting pedals, particularly distortion, I like a clanky metallic bass sound as opposed to a fuzzy wash, and like the sounds I'm hearing from the Rusty Box... atm just have a couple of DS1 clones and a Boss Hm 2.
How's that?
