Oneandfive Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi from SW London, just joined. I first picked up a bass nearly forty years ago, played with dedication for the next ten, quit for the next 25, now I'm into my bass playing renaissance, a term I prefer to 'mid-life crisis'. I have an ancient Guild B-302, a budget Warwick Corvette, a Squier fretless VMJ, an Ashdown ABM 500 2x10 combo and a Boss ME-50b. Currently looking for other instruments, serious case of GAS. I play in two totally different bands. I love them both. One, as yet unnamed, is for psych/early prog and generally alt-ish rock, covering songs by early Floyd, Family, Youngbloods, Dr John, Radiohead, with some originals creeping in. The other is my workplace band, a 12-strong menagerie which plays everything from James Brown to Pink to White Stripes to Amy Winehouse to ... you get the idea. It's like being a session player without the pay. Must go and play now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Oneandfive - and welcome Mid-life crisis or renaissance, who cares? You've got two bands on the go, you're back in the game and that all that matters! Hope you enjoy the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
