Shifrin Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hey, Just thought I'd introduce myself, names Simon and I've just hit the 30 mark. Been playing bass for around 10 years now with 80% of my time spent slapping the thing - can't stop grinning when I slap. Influences would include Stu Zender, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Tetsuo Sakurai, Paul Jackson. Music wise it's a mixed bag of 70's/80's jazz-funk and jazz-fusion with some more modern nu-jazz/i.d.m. Currently playing a Cort Artisan A4 (which I may sell to get funds for a new MIA Fender Jazz Standard) Si. Quote

warwickhunt Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) The Geordie chapter have a new member woo hoo! ... and he's already talking GAS, he'll fit right in shame he's a slapping Fender user. We'll see what we can do to change that! Welcome Si. Edited January 31, 2008 by warwickhunt Quote

Wouldn't mind looking into it though, perhaps once I finally learn to drive and have some transport Si. Quote
