Hi mate and welcome,
I used to work near Tamuff, in Atherstone......
Yeah, you go for it, stick them fingers up...... it's very true about simple basslines, sometimes they are the best (not always.... I know it depends on the music..... but they can be).
Tell you what, thinking about it, I've been getting away with the simple stuff for years (well sort of....)
And definitely have fun.... if you don't enjoy what you're doing, others probably won't as well.
Nice looking bass, by the way.
Mart
