[quote name='metaltime' post='126151' date='Jan 23 2008, 03:01 PM']Hi dave nice to meet you. What kind of music do you play? Do you play in a band?[/quote] Hey there! I play a bit of everything, right from thrash metal and blues to reggae and funk. I find thrash to be the most fun though, there's especially nothing quite like blasting out a bit of Pantera I'm currently in a band called Snog the Dog, a metal/grunge/blues rock three piece, and I very much love every second of it! I also jam with various people at open mic nights and such. How about yourself?

Hey there people, this is my first proper post here! Ok, here's my dilemma. My gigging amp is usually in storage somewhere far away from me, and when I practice at home, I usually either play unplugged (ehh) or through a Marshall pocket amp (bleh). When playing along with a CD or Backing Track, it's almost always a horrible experience. Now, my birthday is just a couple of weeks away, and I'm thinking about asking for a nice practice amp. I don't want anything too fancy, just a nice modestly priced little 10/15 watt'er would do me fine. But there are so many options out there... my only requirement is that it amplifies my signal and it sounds decent, but I'd be open to other suggestions. My only real thought at the moment is the Laney RB-1, which seems cheap and decent enough, though I haven't tried one out yet. What would you guys recommend? Thanks! -Dave

Hi there everyone, My name is Dave, I'm 22 and I've been playing bass as a primary instrument for just under a year now, after a couple of years of being on the six-stringed darkside. This is my first time here, but it seems like a cool place to talk to fellow bassists, so I thought I'd give it a try! I play a Hohner B2ADB headless active bass through a Laney HCM120B, occasionally with a Little Big Muff Pi when necessary (and I'm proud to use a plectrum most of the time!) My main heroes are Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, Rex Brown of Pantera, Billy Gould of Faith No More and Eric Wilson of Sublime. Nice to meet you all! -Dave
