MGDriver Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I just popped on here to sell my unused Ricky, so I thought I better introduce myself to the masses. I've been playing bass in various bands for the past 25 years, I started out playing original material but when the success, fame, and fortune didn't arrive I sort of drifted away from playing for about 5 years. I got a call from an ex-band member who was playing in a covers band to stand-in for a couple of gigs, and this relit my interest. So after about 5 years of ocasional 'stand-in' gigs I know play full-time with the band, we are out most weekends, mainly pubs and clubs with the odd wedding/party thrown-in for good measure. My Bass rig is pretty simple 'Old-school' stuff: For most 'pub' gigs I play a Bass Collection SB300 (Original Japanese early 90's model) I also own a second Ricky, but that doesn't get out much. Amplification is an old Laney DP150 head through a Behringer Ultrabass BA410 4x10 cabinet, with a Zoom Bass effects processor.
