Davetheglitz Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Currently in mourning as my long term band has recently broken up - but having done a lot of rehearsing for an audition with the Kate Bush Tribute band advertised here (didn't get the gig - but one of Bass Chat members did - respect!) I've re-discovered my mojo - and am enjoying playing bass for playings sake! I'm old (55), self taught, use a plectrum and consider tapping and slapping the bass worlds equivalent of the trombone - not to be taken seriously. Hope my forthright opinions don't offend! Quote

D.I. Joe Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 'Right boy! Good to see some more Cornish low-enders gracing these pages! (There are a few of us but in the grand scheme of things, it's about as common as a Welsh-speaker in Japan) See you around hopefully! Quote
