chuck_stones Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Hello fellow BC'ers.. My apologies, I've actually been with the board about a week now, but only just discovered this thread, so here's a bit about me... My name is Oli. I'm based in Leeds and have been rocking the bottom end since I first picked up an instrument when I was 14. I'm currently playing in a band called [url="http://www.ether5band.co.uk"]Ether 5[/url] who've been gigging in and around Leeds for the past 18 months or so. Before joining Ether 5 I had a 5 year hiatus when I moved to Leeds and failed to meet any like minded musicians, but I'm back on the scene and desperate to jam, gig, record, play and learn as much as possible. I'm developing a fascination for all things bass which has resulted in my 'collection' expanding exponentially from a Tanglewood Baron 4-string (which is now for sale), to include a MusicMan SUB, Fender Jazz Fretless, Lakland 44-02 Deluxe (also for sale), Crafter Acoustic and a Vester Clipper. At the moment, I'm mostly playing the MusicMan and I'm looking to try as many other basses as possible (finances permitting). In terms of amp, I'm using a Gallien-Krueger 400RB-IV which I'm running through an Ampeg HLF-410 cab, and it sounds awesome I'm not much of an effects guy, but I do have an EHX Q-Tron plus which I love, and I'd like to get a decent fuzz pedal, but I don't yet know which one to get. I'm here to get involved in the community, learn more about the bass and various techniques, learn to do some home recording, trade, buy or sell some gear and hopefully find a few more musicians with whom I can get together and jam, gig, record or maybe just grab a beer or two and chew the musical fat. If you think you might have something I might be interested in, feel free to drop me a PM. Anyway, that's enough about me.... I look forward to meeting the rest of you BC'ers.
