Captain Bassman Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hey there fellow fat-stringers! Well, after several months of viewing the forum as a guest (wantonly plundering reviews, opinions, etc!) I thought it was time to show my hand and sign up - maybe I can now lend some of my experiences and opinions to others...Seems like a great community on here! I've been playing bass now for just over 20 years, the last 12 of which I've held a regular gig with a 6-piece soul/funk/R&B covers band touring the South East's 'hot-spots' (well, there have been a few decent venues in all that time...) OK, let's get the 'look at me!' bit out of the way!!! My current basses are: Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5-string EB Musicman Stingray 4-string Status Series II 4-string (circa 1988) Goodfellow GBIV 4-string These are shoved through an Aguilar DB750 head and GS410 / GS115 cabinets - bloody good job I've got 5 other band mates and lots of castors to help lug this piece of kit around but the tone and headroom are to die for! Need it too, with 2 vocalists, keyboards, guitar and drums to battle with! I've also got Mr Diggins building me a substantially modded Jaydee GA24 custom. Should be ready by the end of March having originally been commissioned last February for my 40th birthday! Anyway, it'll be worth the wait and I'll try to post some piccies of work-in-progress on the new build diary section soon for those interested. It's still in two halves and in a 'raw wood' state but looks amazing already. Anyway, that's me. Good to be on here officially, at last! David Quote
jwbassman Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hey David - good to have you 'officially' onboard - welcome... I'm sure you'll have plenty to contribute and a story or few from the past 20 years Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Hi David, and welcome. Also, couldn't help but read your username in the style of "Captain Caaaaaaavemaaaaaaaan" Quote
Captain Bassman Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 ...and fellow GB user Bass Ferret. Hey, but you've got two! Not fair! Well spotted on the Captain Caaaaavemaaaan bit Thunderthumbs - there's a story behind that nick-name, but that's for another time (no, I don't resemble that iconic, pre-historic, cartoon superhero physically!!) Nice to 'meet' you guys! Quote
ped Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Welcome along mate! I would be very interested to see some pictures of the Jaydee... We have a 'build' thread where you can show each stage of the process if you are really bored. Cheers ped Quote
