Jon B Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hello all, just signed up, looks a good site to chat bass I started playing in '86 ( when I was 13, seems a long time ago now ) Ive played in a few bands in the southampton area, though had a 10 year layoff ( raising a family etc ) but getting back into it over the last couple of years ive got :- Washburn SH60 natural ( modified with Entwistle P & J passive pickups ) Yamaha RBX270 ( tuned to D ) Trace Elliot GP7-130 Laney RB410 Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hey Jon, Welcome! Yup. it's a great place to chat bass. Friendly gang with community sensitivities. Many people here have returned to playing bass after a long hiatus, so the pattern is recognised. That SH60 is a very nice looking bass. Had never heard about it (am a noob). How does it play and sound? Enjoy the banter! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi Bert, thanks for the welcome, the SH60's active system packed up on me, so i junked all the electronics ( never liked how it sounded anyway ) and bolted in the Entwislte pick ups, a single volume pot and a 3 way switch from a Les Paul, and now sounds great, the scratch plate is a chopped fender P. plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leen2112 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Welcome to Basschat Jon, This is the place for you, noobs or not (don't listen to Bert, I heard he invented the bass guitar!) Its all banter or bollox, Cheers Leen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Shoosh! Since it's out now: yes, I did, in 1849 or so. Had no money to post the patent application though. Now, more than 16 decennia later, I still have to learn to play it, so I feel it's reasonable that I be called a "[i][b][font=georgia,serif]noobe[/font][/b][/i]", just like I was back thenne.
