jimmy_lazers Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well, not that sunny! Greetings from a fairly experienced (if slightly rusty) bassist of 17 years. I performed in a few jazz/big bands in my earlier days (plus one, utterly terrible indie band in the mid 90's), but after a fairly extensive sabbatical due to university and jobs I'm trying to get back into the bass with more of a soul/funk slant. And for the gear freaks amongst you, here's the current stable: [list] [*]70's Hondo II Professional P-Bass copy - Sunburst (hands down the best bass I've ever played) [*]Late 90's American Standard Jazz Bass - Ocean Turquoise [*]Mid 00's Mexican Standard Precision Bass - Sunburst [*]New Squier 'Classic Vibe' 50's Prescision Bass - Butterscotch Blonde [*]Stagg Fusion fretless - Natural [/list] See you around!

jimmy_lazers Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Cheers guys! I've honestly never heard anyone who's played a Hondo say a bad thing about them - plus it was my very first bass, so I've probably got a certain level of unnatural attachment to it... And yep, only 5 basses - I've got another 4 guitars and 2 projects taking up room though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
