Zerofret Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Hello one and all. This looked like a great place to be so I succumbed and joined up! I got my first bass guitar in around 1971 - it was a Rosetti - it was pretty bad but I wish I still had it. After years of guitar playing I only rediscovered the bass in the 1980s and got a Bass Collection 5 string and later it was joined by a Bass Collection fretless. Unusually I use a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 as an amp with an additional 15" speaker cab. It's unburstable as a bass amp although never designed as such. One day I will treat myself to a Rickenbacker - something I've always fancied after getting into Chris Squire in the 70s. So there you go, that's me done - looking forward to chatting to and meeting some of you guys. Steve Edited March 16, 2008 by Zerofret Quote

ped Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Hi Steve, Sunday was great - there are some pics here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15431"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15431[/url] The only problem was the load in/out because some fairly large speakers were coming in and out, and I forgot about the doors which open on each other between the large room and the control room, but we sorted out a sort of traffic light system that seemed to work! You look a bit like Walter Becker in your profile picture ;0) Cheers Chris Quote
