Picked up the bass after turning forty. As a kid, I had some guitar under my belt and bass lessons from an aspiring pro, but left music wholly behind me for twenty years.
Big fan of the noisy end of the rock spectrum but broad tastes.
I bought my first bass in lockdown, ostensibly to help out a friend with a sudden absence in his band, but it was an excuse for scratching an itch I've always had for the superior stringed instrument.
A few years down the line I'm a regular player, 5-string pervert, and playing the best I can in a pub covers band. Even tried writing my own material again!
Midlife crisis or what.
