funkybassman2020 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Hello people! I'm Rob down in darkest Devon and although joined this site some two years back I think, finally got here to say hello. So hello! If someone could advise me how to put a tenner in the pot here please let me know as I have found this site pretty useful so far and seems only right to shove a beer token towards the powers that be... Been playing for I think 21 years? Anyhow....Gearlist: NS Design NXT4 (Nerys) Warwick Thumb NT5 '07 (Mr. Growly) Warwick Streamer LX4 '05.(Goldilocks) Kala Mahogony U-Bass (Ronnie Corbass) Aria Black Poly MAB-40 (Needs a new body plus has no name) Westone 1 (No name) Encore I think it is called an E80? (My first bass! Green thing.) Yamaha APX-5A (When I think I might be able to play guitar) A light blue chorus pedal thing made by Boss although I think it's for a guitar? A purple bass envelope thing made by MXR. Tech-21Sansamp Bass driver DI thing... This thing is pretty handy. Laney RBH800 with 410 and 115 cabs for it. This stack was even cheaper than my car and has less rust on it. Quote

ubassman Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Interesting that you play a Ubass - good fun aren't they ( once you get used to those darn neoprene thunder-gut strings!) Quote
BassTractor Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Hey Rob, Welcome to the surface! Don't be a stranger now. Also, thanks for buying a U-Bass. You U-Bass guys make that I can get nice strings for the Ashbory. Enjoy bantering! best, bert Quote
discreet Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Rob - Bert's not really Norwegian, you know - don't be fooled by his scando-banter. [size=4]And for God's sake don't ask him about his RockBass dildo horn or you'll never get away.[/size] Quote
Leen2112 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Welcome Rob, Or should that be welcome back? Anyway....holy moley! thats an impressive gear list, I particularly like the encore admission, makes me think I should add my Kay strat to my list. Cheers Leen. Quote

funkybassman2020 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Hi there. Thanks for the welcome. Discreet ---- I've put a tenner in the coffers for the powers that be. Is there anyway to check it's been received all ok? Seems it's gone to a chap named Chris... Anyhow, Thanks for the warning on the barts horn. Duly noted. U bassman --- Hey yes, i really enjoy playing the U-bass. One chilled out instrument it is. Noticed the bass strings have come down in price now. What's the difference between the thundergut and the polys that I use? The Polys I have had a good time tuning them but they are fairly settled now. I like the way you can carry the instrument in its case on an easyjet flight no bothers. When away in some foreign climb and the wife goes buying Taiwanese knick-knacks, chilling out by the pool and figuring out some new chops with a beer is pretty satisfying. The bass always brings a smile to other peeps (sceptical smiles mainly) and peeps that rightly think I look a complete idiot playing the thing at me being 6 feet 4 at an open-mic night. Most afterwards are amazed at the sound the thing produces though. Basstractor --- I've never tried an Ashbory bass.... Have to give one a go if I spot one... Leen2112 --- Aha! Yes, the wondrous Encore....Bless it. I just can't seem to part with basses. I've gotten too sentimental over them which is mad I know. However, although this probably wouldn't apply to the green thing, Over the years, I've heard countless musicans come out with the same "I sold that guitar to blah de blah or for such and such and wish I hadn't and now wish I could have it back..."

He will thank you via email in due course. Good work, well done. Edited February 2, 2013 by discreet Quote
