Hello from West Wales!

[Fingers Pescado]

Hola mi compardres,

I play with the Jazz, rock and blues combo, The Astralites, the psychedelic prog rockers, Sendelica and experimental pioneers The Surf Messengers.

I mostly use my '78 Antigua P bass with a 350 watt Trace head and single 18" cab, sounds so warm it'll melt chocolate at a hundred paces!
I also have a defretted 80's Yamaha and an Ozark Electro/acoustic, cheap and cheaful but I don't have to be too precious about it. I've got a naff little Laney practice amp too!

Glad to be here.

Sure thing, but ...

... not entirely sure how. I'll have a go though! This could be me and the Antigua P.[attachment=6193:Astralit...lue_Rock.jpg]

That's not the origional scratch plate, it was cracked when I got her 12 years back. I still have the original which has the paint job that can only be described as "... mushroom soup to avocado burst ..." across it! I figured a plain white replacement looked O.K.!

What do ya think ..!

There's a few Pembrokeshire locals on here. so your in good company

I don't recognize your band names, but i'm appauling at remembering things like that. are you more of a pub/club or free party player? and do you venture down to the Haford area at all?

When I was a kid I used to rehearse in Freystrop and our mates could hear us in Hook (2 miles) daft thing was we used to wear industrial ear muffs, in hindsight I thinks we shoulda turned down
