Hello from Cornwall

[Cornish Bassman]

Hi Everyone, I have just got back into playing Double Bass after a gap of about 10 years. My new 5 String Bass arrived yesterday from Gedo Musik and I have to say I am very impressed with it, it's set up with a set of Evah Pirazzi, a decent french Bow, a stick of Nymans rosin and a decent Gig Bag. I had seen a few favorable comments about Gedo on here and I can only say they are a bargain.

Any hoo, hello fellow bassists and look forward to some good topics on here in the future.

Back to my practice.

Cheers

Rootjoose were a band I knew very well a few years ago. My old band used to share gigs with them often. Harry the bass player from Rootjoose has had fame in the band Kubb, check them out. Nice chap.
Al Hodge was an awesome musician and lovely bloke. Bodmin town has its own annual festival called Alstock to remember Al Hodge.

Good memories.
