G'day all.........
It's high time I said hello properly.
I started playing bass at college in 1993. A mate had an electric guitar and after teaching me some riffs on it, we decided I should get a bass.
That was it. I've never looked back.
I've done lots of jamming and recorded some loops and stuff in a few make-shift studios but never been in a band, properly.
I worked in and out of the country for years and there was never an opportunity really.
I had a car accident a few years back and I spent the entire compensation money on a 1967 Jazz Bass. That then started me on a little journey collecting basses I'd always wanted to play.
Lately I've been learning the chords on an accoustic guitar and getting well into that too.
I recently bought a Mesa Walkabout, which is beautiful and surprisingly for me, an Ashdown Mag 300, which sounds gorgeous. It was £100.
This website and you guys have been an amazing source of inspiration and knowledge to me and I wish I'd joined it a lot earlier.
A belated Happy New Year to you all.
