I've done this a bit a**e for elbow as we say locally, posting stuff before intro. So I guess I better do it now before I go any further. I'm John, Cumbernauld, Scotland. Playing bass now for (quick mental arithmetic, 46ish, less 13 = 33). Yes, playing bass for 33 years now. Been gigging since I was 16. Will confess to having been a Jaco / Mark King fan all my days. Currently playing in a couple of bands, one does Rock covers, one does functions. I prefer the functions, because it suits my style better, but my mates play in the rock band so I do that for the craic. Currently have the bass herd thinned all the way down to a solitary Squier Jazz 5 string active. I actually sold my Fender Jazz 5 string because I didn't actually like it as much. Just about to get my hands on a Status Smart bass which I saw at the weekend. Amp is a Trace Elliot AH250 and a Peavey 410tx. Previous incumbents. Amps first, most recent first. Last one, I was still at school.

Sold Jose a Parker P38 a few years back. Good comms, very agreeable to work with and sound as a pound really. Know him of old via Usenet. Good solid lad. As reliable as the sun coming up in the morning.
