DrBike Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi (waves), I joined a few weeks ago but thought Id better follow protocol and formally introduce myself. Been playing bass on and off since approx 1984. Just started playing again (thanks to the Rock Project Encore in Windsor) a few months ago after not touching a bass since early 2003 - marriage, kids and other hobbies took priority. Based in the general vicinity of what is allegedly about to become Staines Upon Thames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staines..? Know it well; used to be from those parts (Bedfont, then Shepperton...). 'Upon Thames', eh..?Going up in the world, are we..? A rose, by any other name, and all that..? Be careful, though; if the waters continue to rise, you'll not be only waving, perhaps..! Welcome to the forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdowner Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Welcome How are you finding getting back into playing? Is it like riding a bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBike Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1325445513' post='1483246'] Welcome How are you finding getting back into playing? Is it like riding a bike? [/quote] Yeah - I more or less picked up the bass and got straight back into it. Perhaps the fingers weren't as nimble (or the mind as quick) and I couldn't remember all the songs I used to play but otherwise it's been just like riding a bike. I got back into playing after being introduced to the Rock Project Encore in Windsor, which is kind of like a bunch of blokes attempting to deal with a middle aged crisis!

Immo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Welcome! It's good to hear that bass playing is like riding a bike. I'm not planning to stop, but, hey, who knows.

[/quote] No kidding! Staines was my old stamping ground. I'm still getting used to it being in Surrey, never mind Upon Thames! But as you can see from my info, I have managed to escape!
