cetus Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi everyone. Just joined BC today and decided it was only right to come and introduce myself and say hi. I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Been playing bass for about 5 years on and off (mostly just messing about a bit), but have only recently in the last year started to take it more seriously and increase my knowledge and skills. In the past I've only ever really played around at home, but hopefully things will be changing soon. Got my first proper gig lined up in Sept with some friends and I'll be playing for about 80 -100 people which should be nice (possibly nervously too!). At the moment, I'm just playing a cheap Peavey bass, but I like it. Would love a nice Fender Jazz at some point soon. Using an Ashdown ABM Evo II 500 2x10 combo, but in a couple of weeks, I'll be getting a 4x10 extension cab to use beneath that too. Mostly into rock and indie type music, with a bit of funk thrown in, but I'll generally listening to most styles and there are bits from most genres I like. Hope you're all have a great day!

Silvia Bluejay Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hello Cetus, and welcome! There are a number of us who started playing bass only a few years ago, and I for one have found the advice on this site to be absolutely invaluable, as well as the people to be very welcoming and ready to help. I'm sure you'll love being part of the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashwood1985 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Howdy Cetus! I've only been on the forum a few months but have found it a valuable resource and community in that time. Gained one bass and many gems of knowledge so am glad to see another enthusiastic BC 'newbee' Welcome! and enjoy your first gig mate! I remember mine and the singer thought it might be a good idea to point the audience towards me for a solo in the second song!!! No comment on the result lol - good memories. Have a blast my friend.

[/quote] Thanks Ashwood, and to everyone else! The singer is my younger brother, so if he gives me any solo grief, I'll have loads of chances to exact revenge! I'm looking forward to learning loads and sharing laughs with you all. Just having a bit of a play right now! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
