Hi all.
Just thought I'd quickly introduce myself.
My name is Martin and I'm a Yorkshireman living in Bulgaria. I'm a born again bassist, or at least aspire to be having not played in a band since I was about 16 and that was (cough) years ago.
A few friends and I are just in the very early stages of getting a band together. I'm extremely rusty but enjoying playing again.
My current weapon of choice is a dirt cheap Sub Zero (gear 4 music own brand) semi acoustic bass which has a surprisingly nice feel and is actually quite playable. And an old 1980's 100w Laney Combo. I will probably be looking to upgrade soon if anything actually comes of the band situation, but having owned (and sold) tons of gear over the years I'm determined not to put the cart before the horse this time, even though all those shiney for sale ads keep luring me in. Last time I did that I ended up with a grand and a halfs worth of Warwick thumb bass and a full Laney double stack, which was probably overkill for my garage 😂.
