Welcome from a fellow lefty, Stu!
In music nobody is old - we are all ageless.

Hello neighbour! Welcome to the machine, great to see another from around here Sounds like you've got me beat by a year or two, I started when I was 14 IIRC so have now been at it 47 years on & off.

Let us know when you're gigging but don't ask me to carry your gear I'm in a bad way too

Cheerz, John

Welcome to BC, Stu! After 52 years of playing, you must be dying to be educated by us.

At a mere 50 , and only 34 years bass playing , I doubt I qualify as old.

Happily , I am a git though !

Welcome Stu. You're never too old to learn , that's true , but I expect you've more to teach us than you'll glean !

I started playing when I was 16 in 1962 and have been at it on and off ever since.

Or is it because that's where most of the old folks homes are located in the UK

I'll get my zimmer
(now that could be a good name for a the custom Classic Bass I'm building, the "Zimmer - Victor Meldrew" model )

[soopercrip]

At 56 I feel quite young here, puts a spring in the step (actually it's hydraulic ) not been playing that long though, relative newbie.
Welcome Stu

[JayPH]

Don't worry, the average age on here is about 90

You're right there Stu! amazing bass for not much money, and I havent modded anything, have you?

[leftybassman392]

And a warm welcome from another old git Lefty. Started when I was twelve. That was, er, let me see now.. er, 47 years ago!

[Lowend Stu]

Hi LEFTYORKY,
I have two of these Squires one natural/maple neck and has a schaller 3d bridge, D`adario XL`s schaller strap locks and a fender pickup cover plus white scratchplate and one is a sunburst/rosewood neck with a Babicz bridge plus black original jass knobs, its quite amazing how different these two basses sound!
