DaveMal Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Hi, i'm firstly a player of the 6 strings of 16 years... (don't hate me) but i have also taken up bass more recently.. i have to admit i initially thought.. 4 strings... chugging along with the rhythm, easy... but i've come to be more interested in the bass.. attempting to learn more techniques, learning about bass rigs. I still have a fair few bass noob questions to band around these boards as i learn. Currently my setup consists of a 1998/99 fender P bass (MIM) and a Sansamp bass driver which i run into some speakers i use as a monitor. Im currently looking at expanding my setup either with pedals, a pod xt or a rack setup... so i will either want to be trading my sansamp in for a bass pod xt or some rack amp gear... or a few pedals.. a lot to consider. I like the idea of a bass rack as i run a guitar rack setup with a nice rack head and a g-major which i am very happy with.. but it would be a slow process saving up for the gear. David. Quote
FayeAutumn Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Greetings. I initially read that as you'd been playing 6-string bass for 16 years, which I find a lot more unsavoury than playing guitar (a C string indeed!), but then I realised what you meant And we all need guitarists afterall - rather fond of mine, saves me having to work out what to do with all those high notes. But alas I digress... enjoy the forums Quote
Roland Rock Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Hi David, Welcome to BC. Sounds like you're embarking on the GAS journey of a lifetime. Enjoy. Quote
DaveMal Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 oh GAS has already started.. im currently in the process of trading my sansamp for an ashdown mag 210 combo as i need an amp.. i think the sansamp is a nicer bit of kit.. but i need something for an upcoming gig. but as im a Huddersfield boy.. i will of course be aiming ultimately for a Matamp GT200 Quote
derrenleepoole Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 See you on Saturday David, and welcome Quote
jimbobothy Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hi, I'm too based in Huddersfield! Welcome to the forum. Beware of GAS, I've been through many many different basses since I joined up!! Quote
