Dr.Gonzo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hello everyone, Been playing for +10 years, and off course I’ve grown to be a regular visitor of basschat and talkbass. Thanks for putting all your knowledge out there, it really solves problems and gives lots of inspiration! I started out on a MIM Fender Jazz and since then I’ve used mainly Fender Jazz and Musicman Stingray basses. By now, I play a ’66 Fender Jazz Bass and have a ’93 Musicman Stingray - not parting with those two. Amp is a Mesa Boogie 400+ and I use 2x(4x10” Mesa Boogie Diesel Cab’s). My main inspiration was RHCP, I then moved along to motown, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin etc. I’m in a powertrio, playing our own material of groovy psychedelic rock, inspired by the catalogue of late 60’s and early 70’s rock and psychedelic. We have a great time doing it, and we do it a lot. Finally: I’m looking for a Wal Pro IIE, natural/sunburst/translucent coloured finish, gigable, preferably serviced recently. We will be writing new material and record our first album during 2012, and I’d love to have a Wal by my side in that process. No trades but £[b], [/b]€... All the best Niels, aka Dr.Gonzo (Proud member of Wal Bass Naturally, but still without the Wal).

ped Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Welcome! I went to Copenhagen in the summer and thought it was an amazing city. I really felt welcome and by the end of the week I felt I had explored the 'real' city off the tourist track. I want to go back!!

Dr.Gonzo Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks. Yeah, Copenhagen really comes alive during summer, it's such a sweet spot . Swimming in the harbour, barbequing, drinking cold beers and goint out in the bright summer nights, it's all great. And the music scene is pretty good also, there are lots good bands out there. And anyone coming around during the Distortion street festival get's blown away, you should come back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Welcome Niels. I was in Copenhagen over the summer too. Very nice city but the beer is too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Gonzo Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ha ha, Dave, that is true. Always been on a budget myself and drinking in clubs keeps either gets you sober or your credit card glowing . But there are some ways around it. Start out by getting your basic supplies at a supermarket (Lidl sells cheap German beer of decent quality), warm up before you go out, always take a traveller, and never be shy about dropping by a kiosk and resupply when you are moving from one place to the other. Besides, if you go some place brown (a pub), they'll sell beer at managble prices too. And some more advertisement for Copenhagen, while we are at it , check out [url="http://cphdistortion.dk/"]Distortion[/url], it's five days of unbelievable fun.

Monckyman Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hello Niels! Copenhagen is great, if a little expensive! £5 a pint of Guinness last time I was there I`m usually there at the John Dee or upstairs at the Rockefeller (less often ) and it`s always a good crowd. Good luck with the Wal! MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Gonzo Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yes, prices of alcohol in Sweden and Norway are redicilus. They drive all across Denmark and down to the German border to get their supplies, tax free. So, Copenhagen should be your first choice in Scandinavia !
