Ah, thanks guys. It’s nice to feel so welcome. The cherry tree is still there but there doesn’t seem to be any live music there anymore, sadly. @Richard R I’m selling as I need to free up money for a bass and amp. I’ve always played narrow necked basses as I thought I didn’t have big enough hands to handle a proper bass (I started on a short scale - my band mates used to call it a Fisher Price bass!). I’d always aspired to have a Warwick bass but I played a Jazz Bass recently and it felt great, so easy to play. My bass collection is really nice to play (you get used to whatever you have) but it is really quiet.

Thanks all. I’m in East Dulwich, just down the road from Camberwell. Elaine Chase (of Crossroads fame) still lives on Camberwell Grove!

Hello everyone! I've picked the bass back up this year after about 25 years. It's probably a midlife crisis but I'm loving the learning journey and starting to pick up the courage to connect/jam with other musicians. I'm still using the basses that I had back in the 90s (a Vigier Passion ii fretless and a Bass Collection SB301 but through a new Blackstar decktop micro amp). I'm planning to sell / trade them in for Jazz Bass and new amp. I play anything with a groove. I love old soul, disco, funk and some modern sythn-based stuff like Dabeull. Nice to be here! Tom
