Roland Rock Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi, I've played in a number of bands over the years, and am currently doing 70's rock stuff. My gear tastes seem to be getting more old school - I used to have an '83 Stingray, but traded it in for a '78 Precision - no regrets. I've tried solid state and hybred, but imo there's no substitute for all valve warmth (despite protests from my wallet and back) Hopefully I'll learn much and have a laugh on Basschat, and if relevant, I may be able to offer some advice from my limited experience.

Roland Rock Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the welcomes. I'm based in Nottingham. When reading my post, I come across a bit of a gear head but I'm not - I'm very superficial in that I want my gear to have the right look (retro) and basically I don't want anything too complicated. I once had an amp with parametric eq and all the bells & whistles, but only ever used the presets. Give me a one trick pony which does that trick really well. I suppose that's why I love the P Bass. Musically, I love Squarepusher, Herbie Hancock, Led Zep, Beck, Daft Punk, Soil & Pimp Sessions, Lightning Bolt, Burning Spear, Free - all sorts really. I've played in an indie/britpop band, a jazz standards quartet, a jazz funk outfit, and various covers bands, most recently Bowie tribute. Probably more than you wanted to know, but I'm off work ill with nothing but a laptop and a lot of time on my hands Edited December 8, 2010 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Great photo, I have a 78 Precision myself. And don't worry about too much detail, this is the thread for you to share it! Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Cheers BB You have a nice collection. I like the foam on the bridge idea, and have been thinking about that myself. I suppose I need to play around a bit to get the right level of muting, and ideally I want to be able to foam/defoam mid set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
