Pleased to meet you...

Hi, my name's Steve. I play bass in a rock band from Belfast called RedEye - here's our MySpace link if you're interested.

As to gear, it's all bargain basement stuff: an Ibanez GSR 200, an Ashdown Electric Blue 180 with a Boss SD-1 for a bit of grit and occasional use of a Big Muff (you'll hear that on the song Northern Lights if you go to the MySpace). Some day I'll upgrade but it does me for now - I quite like it in the context of our music actually.

Welcome Steve,
Enjoy the forum.
Are you a Beatles fan? Or is there another reason for your user name?

[Rubbersoul]

Rubber Soul is probably my favourite Beatles album and yeah I like my Beatles. I've got a massive range of musical tastes tho - punk, metal, blues, rock, rock n roll etc. Not a fan of dance or hip hop tho

Welcome, and theres no shame in that trusty old Ibanez GSR200, they are actually rock solid basses for such little money. I still have one and love it, occasionally play it out still.

Now that i must say, is a DAMN good deal. I paid about £150 for mine in 2007 and since then its survived everything from 5ft drops, been hit with falling motorbike parts and involved in a car accident with only a gig bag on my back for protection, and still hasnt missed a beat. Absolutely awesome for the money.
