Jazzdude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi, I am the latest newbie to walk into this wonderful Bass world and thought I would introduce myself and say 'Hi!' [/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I've been playing bass for about 38 years but not been involved with a band for quite awhile, so tend to jam to beats I create on my PC with a DAW. My present basses are a Squire Jazz that I've had for a few months, as well as a Shergold Marathon which I have had since the early 80's (was a loaner after my Fender Jazz was nicked, liked it so much I bought it) and about to sell. I play through an old Roland Spirit Bass 50, which is about 25 years old and was a practise amp, but now it suffices for what I do but like the idea of an Ashdown. I grew up listening to 60s and 70s rock and prog (my overall preference), but I like most genres of music including smooth jazz. It it sounds good and and gives me goose bumps, then it is cool.[/color][/font] Job wise, I work in the IT arena for my sins but in my early days I worked in stage management/lighting and photography - Good days [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am looking forward to chatting, accepting advice from my piers, learning and passing on anything I may know.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Peace [/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marathon images can be found here: [url="http://www.jazz-zone.com/bass/shergold/album/"]http://www.jazz-zone.com/bass/shergold/album/[/url] I have already put it up for sale. It is a lovely bass but found I was starting to need the less wideness of the Jazz Bass as I am finding it slightly harder to stretch the old fingers. Thank you for the welcome Best regards Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
