BobTheBassist Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi everyone how's things? I'm from cambridge and have just found this place while looking for a new bass. I been playing bass now for about 14 years, barring a short interlude when I stuck the stem of a wine glass into my left hand and I like to think I'm reasonably good. I tend more towards adding bass lines to someone elses music than writing my own stuff but within that play a good variety of punk, ska, metal and good old rock and roll (60's and 70's mostly) with a bit of drum and bass if it's particulary well done. Oh and I love the chile peppers. I currently use a Trace Elliot RAH-1000 12 with a speaker cab which I designed myself. My bass however is... wait for it... a bass collection sb101 made in that mecca of musical instruments, south korea. And after 10 years of daily abuse it's dead. And I'm sad because it's been like a little yorkshire terrier to me, so full of enthusiasm and dumb love that I don't mind it occasionally peeing on the carpet. But it's now gone and the time has come... for warwick. Now I know they're not for everyone but every time I've tried one I've loved. No one will change my mind, and many have tried. So that's me. Also I tend to be a bit socially backward and don't usually get into forums and posting on them. If I breech etiquette in some way please be gentle with me.

[/quote] Guessing that's a regional thing. I've only been in this county since march this year so not really sure what the rutland thing is about. It's hanging well though, thank you.

karlfer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Welcome and enjoy. Sure you have seen them but this morning there were 2 superb Thumb basses on here for about £500, which I reckon is superb. Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTheBassist Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Also having just re read my open in post I feel I was unduly harsh about the bass collection. My main issue with the bass colection is really that the set up on them is always shocking from new. Once you fix that you realise they're really not bad. Still prefer the warwick though!
