rogerds Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 hello chaps / chapesses..... please forgive any breaches of ettiquette or plain stupidity on behalf of a newcomer to the forum - have been lurking for a while and am just getting round to registering! me? - bit of a geriatric punk i guess - been playing for a while - lets just say i bought my precision second-hand in '63 (ought to be a bit better by now i guess!) - main band is a pub / club covers band playing songs folks can hum along to but musical interests are varied - most of my albums are compilations! gear? - a miscellany of basses - precision, 4001, roadstar, bass collection (very under-rated in my view), SQ Squier, Peavey midi, nomad etc etc... needs thinning out ( have some on ebay as we speak) - played through Flite cabs - imported from US - the first of the really light & portable bass cabs but looking at Schroeder! gig mainly in and around the Poole / Bournemouth area these days but do have hazy recollections of Hamburg in the 60's! and like others on the list i have a passion for windsurfing & biking really looking forward to learning from the collective wisdom of you all and maybe contributing here and there if i can keep up with the low notes! -roger- Quote
Huge Hands Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome. If your precision was second hand in '63 (i.e. older than that), I'd have said you'll be very popular around here! Quote
