Hi all,
I'm delighted to find a bass forum in the UK.
I'm based in Fife and have been playing bass off and on for a while. (Mostly off!) Main forum for playing is in church, and the occasional ceilidh.
Current gear (those of a nervous disposition should probably skip the first 2):
- Yamaha RBX-765 (fretted 5-string). Had this serviced 18 months ago as it was noisy and not playing well - got the nice chaps at Overwater to do this, as I was down there anyway.
- Cheap (thomann!) harley-benton acoustic. Can't remember the model number, but it's the cheapest 4 they do with a sitka spruce top. This has been marvelous for having handy around the house.
- Euphonic Audio iAmp 300 + 2 cabs (CxL 110). Unbelievable amp. Very transparent, loud enough to hurt, handles a 5-string and very compact.
I'm currently thinking of buying a 5-string fretless. Budget 250-500 unfortunately - marriage & 2 kids limits the GAS fund.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers, and thanks to the moderators
Phil
