Veils

Well I'm very close to having an arrangement to pick up a Ray35 which I've found here in Mexico for about 500 quid.........then I'm well and truly on the comeback trail!!!

Well that's a long time to take out!! I think if I took 15 years I'd be screwed!!! I'm seriously considering nipping into town now to buy a Ray35 I saw last weekend........

My aim is that when I move back to UK next year, I will get the band you hear in the attached tune back together. I spent about 6 years playing metal and always wanted to put something more melodic together where I could really express myself a bit more as a bassist. I still love listening to the music we made to this day, I'd kill to get that band back together!

The band I made some progress with was called Veils, the band in the attached tune was called San Sebastian

15 years! Wow! Guess my break is no big deal On the filename, I think that's renamed itself. The file was named properly when uploaded, no biggy but thanks for the heads up!

Wow, bloody good work!!!

I have no idea if that attachment worked.......should be an mp3 file?

Definitely a longer break than mine! I probably took a 3-4 year hiatus!

A few years ago, I was in a band that experienced a reasonable degree of success for the genre of music we played (metal). I supported bands like Slayer, Mastodon and Trivium, got some Radio 1 Rock Show airplay and at the time, everything got very very serious. It eventually sucked any enjoyment I took from playing bass, I stopped practicing in my own time and eventually, I gave up altogether. I was, at the time, a pretty good player. I've now finally got the itch in a big way to jump back in. I've loaned a bass to try and get some of my chops back. I'm obviously rusty, my fingers are a tad clumsy and trying to play along to one of my old bands tracks (I attached it - this is NOT the above mentioned band) is, in places, quite difficult. What's the biggest break you guys have taken from playing and did you take any specific approach to getting back into it?

Dillinger Escape Plan - Prancer Also I found a band called Anton and the Headcleaners. Absolutely bat sh*t bonkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jP1VnanKVU

Ohhhhh this dude has got my attention!!! Email has been sent, let's get jazzy...........

Looking groovy!! What sort of lead times is Jon working to at the moment?

Here she is!!!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1391946086' post='2362814'] that would look fantastic with a high gloss finish good luck getting it back matey! [/quote] Well my friend, it just so happens that I tracked her down. The dude I sold to still has it and he's done some work to it, including a high gloss finish!!! She's looking absolutely gorgeous. He says he would consider selling for a "silly offer" which I guess is testament to how stunning a bass it is. I'm expecting a monumental tax rebate soon which should easily cover the silly offer he's looking for. Come to Daddy!!!

Sniff sniff, look at her

Well the buyer actually came to pick it up from me in Manchester. However I did just realise that I arranged the sale from my gmail account..........I've located his email address............here goes!

Thanks buddy!! I've been out of the game far too long

Hey all! So it's been a long long time since I came to the forum, I'd pretty much stopped all musical interests in the pursuit of a soulless career. Well the soulless career is still keeping me relatively occupied but I have to start playing again. And not just any old bass.........a few years ago, I sold a 5 string Shuker, quite a distinctive looking bass. Serpentwood board, blue side LED's and an LED backlit logo, Delano pups. Problem is, I have no contact details for the person I sold it to and I only have one picture. Absolute long shot, but has anyone seen this bass at all??

I loved having LEDs. I can see why people think they're kinda poncey, but I really felt I benefited from having them if I was playing on a dark stage in songs where there were some awkward chops.
