odysseus Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi there! To my shame, I have only recently discovered this forum. I've been playing bass for quite a few years - In my glam days I started off with a metallic pink Charvel bass, (what was I thinking??) which was a piece of crap, so I traded it in for a second hand Ibanez Roadster, which was way better and just in time for the grunge phase. I acquired another Roadster as back-up, also bought an Ibanez 6 string after I discovered John Myung, then bought a rather nice Musicman Stingray with 2 humbuckers, which meant that I sold the Roadsters on as I didn't play them any more. Had an Ampeg stack a few years back, which I sold when I went to uni. I've since had a Peavey Max 700 head and various cabs, the only one of which I have left is an ancient Trace Elliot 1x15. I'm probably going to sell that on and get a Barefaced 2x12, which will be easier to lug up 4 flights of stairs to my flat. I also play a bit of guitar, and I've got a PRS on the way, as some loon paid over the odds for my old car a few weeks back. Result! Anyway... helloooo!!

Do you advertise your gigs anywhere? I'd like to check it out. Are you planning to move into wakes and barmitzvahs in the near future? That's where it's at!

D.I. Joe Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I know Steve! I rehearsed with him a few times for that Rush tribute that he's doing Our gig list on the [url="http://www.fragilesanity.co.uk/?page_id=21"]website[/url] is usually up to date. When we remember we make Facebook event pages etc too. Funny you should mention wakes and Bar Mitzvahs, we are available but the bookings haven't come in yet!

It was great fun, but with the amount of work I've got going on I can't commit 10-12 hours a week to learning covers. Plus.... all that gear.. *shudders*... it sounds great when it's all working, but...... [quote name='D.I.

cameltoe Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 [i] Another [/i]welcome from up Snozzle! It's great around these parts. I can see the only high-rise block of flats in Cornwall from my house. Oh and if you decide you could live with a barefaced compact over a super12 then I will have one available shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
