Hi, I just joined.

Hi there,
I just joined the forum and thought I’d say hello.

After a 5 year gap, of bass-less-ness, I got myself a Fender Deluxe Series P-Bass Special (phew! what a mouthful), on Xmas Eve. It’s in Blizzard Pearl and I really like it.

Been a bassist since 13 and only had a break, when I got heavily into high-end acoustic guitars. Funny thing was, I’d intended to get a Rickenbacker 12-string but preferred a much cheaper Burns. This left cash, and I tried a Ricky 4003. I’d owned one, many years ago. But once again, I preferred the Fender. Amazing value.

Now I need a decent combo and intend to find one, this week. Not too big but with a good sound.

I love all sorts of music and have played in quite a few bands but my main passion, for most of that time, has been progressive and classic rock.

I’ve owned a multitude of basses, over the years. The ones that stand out, are the Rickenbacker 4001, a Wal, a Goodfellow (probably the best bass I ever owned) and a Cort GB99B.

Sorry to go on so much.

I look forward to reading more of this forum.

Howdy! Nice P-bass!

Thanks alot, for the welcome.

Hey Telebass: my first ever bass, was a Columbus copy of a Telecater bass. It was the same colour as yours.
I remember selling my racing bike to get it. It was £33 brand new, in the early 70s.

BTW. I picked up a Roland Cube-100 bass combo, today. Really strong sound and remarkably loud for a 1X12.
I also tried it, with a 1X15 Ashdown bass cab extension and it was pretty impressive.
