Hello there.

[Mr Anthony]

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while now and finally decided I'd register.

I currently play in the band ('orchestra' but with parts missing as they've left now) at my college.

I was in a "rock/whatever you want to call it" band, but because of musical differences that me and the guitarist had with the drummer, we disbanded. He liked all the crazy screamo stuff, where it's impossible to understand a word they say. Whereas we liked things that are much softer. Any song written, and presented to the drummer would always have the same reply.

'Why don't you put a scream in here?' or 'Why don't... After this line go into a breakdown?'

No. These songs were meant to be played the way they were written.

Anyway, enough ranting.

I'm a bassist of four years, and recently (June) bought my second bass guitar. Came across it on eBay for £180 inc. Shipping. (Total £200). Got myself a nice DeArmond Pilot Deluxe from the 90's. The guy said it was one of the last made. It's much better than the Korean lump of a bass I had previously. ([url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Electric-Metal-X-Bass-Guitar-Black/1O7"]http://www.gear4musi...uitar-Black/1O7[/url]) Aren't I cool, eh? Ha. Regarding my previous statement, you'd think with a bass like that I'd fit right in, no? And I'm currently looking to buy new amplification. Saving for a nice stack. As to the brand, size, wattage, etc. No idea.

Anyway, I hope to enjoy my time here.

Thanks, Anthony.
