Lew-Bass Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Hi all, was a regular reader of the site until academia and such got the better of me and I ended up neglecting all things bass for a good 2 years (I know, how could I?). Basically, I'm fully intending and determined to get back into playing now and I was wondering, what's my gear like 2 years on? It was never the best but it was alright for a player of very humble abilities, I'm just intrigued as to how much technology has moved on in the past couple of years..

Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yes. Welcome back [i]"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"[/i] Welcome to the hotel Basschat Some people use vintage amps. I use old but trusty Trace Elliot gear Just because it isn't brand new, it doesn't stop it sounding good or being fit for purpose. If you can hear it over a drummer and the DI works, it'll do for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon bass Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 sounds like you have a very good set-up to me. plus its never about the gear you have its about the person behind it, i have seen some drummers have a top of the line kit, cymbals and hardware but was no better than a grade 4 drummer i would say, my drummer on the other hand has only just recently got a semi pro level gretsch kit equivalent to a pearl export and has just taken his grade 8 and his 5 theory and is going on to Leeds college of music at the age of 17 and is probably the best drummer i have ever played with. the point behind this story is give a beginner a 3000 pound bass and you have noise but give a seasoned pro a 300 pound Bass and as long as its in tune you will have music. and welcome back its nice to see more bassist.
