bassace Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been a BC subscriber for about a month but have only just figured out how to set up all the stuff (signature etc). So it's about time I introduced myself. I'm probably the oldest subscriber at 66 but still do plenty of gigs on DB. I play in a Birmingham band, Oxford band and also freelance. I've found the forums very interesting and you will probably remember that I got involved in the Stagg discussion. I'm trying to sell my EBO that I bought in favour of a Fender Jazz in 1964 (twit!) so I can invest in a Steinberger. Then I will be fully upright - although at my age a bit of viagra may help. I live just outside Chipping Norton and am always happy to give any help with Double Bass matters. Great site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 ped, Old Horse, Dave, paul Thanks for you kind welcome. ped, I'm with Dave Moorwood's Rascals. We do the Lamb at Wantage 4th Wednesday in the month. Free admission but the drinks are a bit pricey. Our piano man is Perry Lock who lives in Colwell Drive, Witney. He's one of the best keyboard men around. If you ever look in (caution, it's jazz!) I'll help defray costs by buying you a pint. Dave, the German blonde lives upstairs and is my practice bass. The other three live in the garage where I have built a special cupboard. The humidity seems to suit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks mate. I was advertising for a fusion piano/keyboard player around Witney/Oxford and heard bugger all! I think I know the Lamb so will see if I can round up some Jazz chaps and scat along to see you. Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Bassace I live on the other side of Chippy from you. I will have to keep and eye out for your gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Alfie Thanks for greetings. I see you are in a London band and I'm mainly in a Birmingham band so local gigs may not often be feasible. You play BG and I play DB and you are at least a generation younger than me, so we seem to be chalk and cheese. And yet, and yet............... we both play at the low end and we are both Basschat subscribers so we do have much in common. Be good to meet sometime to discuss gear and stuff.

Alfie Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 We also both seem to use a GK MB150! I wouldn't mind meeting up, I would certainly like to know more about DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
