Matt_Arlita Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hey guys. Been lurking on the forum for the last couple of weeks but now it's time to get involved in discussions a bit more I feel! I'm 21 and have been playing for around 10 years now. Played in various bands in the area but currently without due to working stupid antisocial hours (friday and saturday nights...best I could get at the moment) Main gear is a 2006 Rickenbacker 4003 in Jetglo > MXR Bass D.I.+ > Ampeg SVT450H > Ampeg SVT610HLF. Currently trying to sell the 610 in favour of something smaller and lighter...can't justify having the giant fridge at the moment. Nobody's biting yet though...might have to keep it after all Looking forward to getting involved -Matt Quote
Dood Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hey Matt! Welcome aboard chap! - I'm a fellow Norwich-ite too - feel free to add me on ma facebook n' the like. Nice rig by the way - 'Stag' on the forum, another fine bass player from 'our fine city' is looking at 4003's at the moment, so I'm in no doubt he'll want to have a chat with you! Cool, speak soon! Dooooooooooooooooooooooood Quote
Bilbo Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I went to Norwich once. (Actually, having never been there before, the merger of my employer with another has seen me visiting the damn place every week since last April). Welcome to Basschat. Quote
Matt_Arlita Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Cheers guys! Just 'Liked' you on Facebook Dood. I also recognise you from Norwich Darkside (complete ghost town at the moment!) Quote
Stag Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hello good sir! As Dood said, im also a denizen of these Naaaarfolk parts! It appears we have fairly similar gear tastes (see my sig! haha). I hear you on wanting to possibly get another cab, the 610 isnt the smallest thing in the world.... not many places in Norwich where you really need all that oomph either. My advice? Get a smaller rig AS WELL eheh Quote

Matt_Arlita Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 It's always fun to see people's faces when I roll up to the gig with it! You're right about the lack of places to open her up...I think the only time I had it on anywhere near to full was when we played the Waterfront once. Thinking of going the Orange Bass Terror route and a 4x10/1x15 rig I can split for rehearsals/smaller gigs, and take the full thing to any bigger gigs that might come along. The Ampeg fridge is awesome but a pain in the arse to shift about. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Welcome Adding to Bilbo's silliness we had a family holiday from Hell in Norwich back in 1988. I remember it because I was the one who spoilt it! edited for my poor spelling Edited March 29, 2011 by BurritoBass Quote

Blademan_98 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Welcome aboard I am GASSING over the Ricky lol Quote
Matt_Arlita Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks everyone- never knew the forum was so full of Narridge folk! Quote
BassCat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Another Norwich boy here - welcome to the forum! If you're looking for a small & light cab I'd recommend the Hartke Hydrive 410. Ask Dood - he has TWO of them! Quote
BassPhoto Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hi bass chatters! I finally turned up several weeks after Dood gave me his card. World domination in photography has taken up my time. I'm fromBristol and I play a Hohner B2 active cricket bat Steinberger type bass, with stainless steel strings cos I'm allergic to Nickel. I also have a 5 string and a fretless. Quote

Welcome aboard too! - OOohhh I like the B2 basses! - I've just stopped myself from buying a DB version off ebay! - I totally don't need another bass, but I nearly got bitten by the bug to have one!!

Gear Acquisiton Syndrome: we all suffer from it. I really want a four string bass Tanglewood or similar x Quote
Guest Lee Van Cleef Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Welcome from another Norfolk boy! Quote
MuckedUpFunkies Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 What band are you playing with? Dare say I may have seen you as I seem to live in the Brickmakers at the moment! =L Quote
Matt_Arlita Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Not in a band currently but this was my last one- www.myspace.com/sweetarlita We broke up last April I think. I miss gigging loads though so on the lookout for a new band! Quote
