mamayo Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hi there, been reading the posts for a while - it's cool here! I'm a London-based Bass Player working in the industry as a session player since 1990. Thought it's time I joined. Will share what I'm up to with you all in case there's any interest :-) Doing some Jam sessions based in London and recording an album. Just recentlly become a Mayones endorsee and with Aguilar for 1 year now. Cheers! Quote
andydye Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Welcome to basschat, with those killer endorsements you'll not too likely be that stuck into the for sale forums but there's plenty of other stuff to [s]waste your time on[/s] occupy yourself with Quote
SpaceChick Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hi Yolanda and welcome! As a female bassist myself I can say you have been a BIG inspiration to me You've also given me the confidence to try a little singing (my voice is rubbish, backing vocals only) whilst playing. The tutorial video that is on YouTube of you showing how to start doing this is amazing!! Really great to have you on board.....although be warned, there is a (I assume jealous) contingent on here that like to have a pop at talented pros like yourself!! Just don't take anything to heart Debs x Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Not me! I'm one of the nice ones Welcome aboard, post long and often! Quote

BassBus Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Like you need to introduce yourself here. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]And "...in case there's any interest". What? From a real bass player, not like the rest of us who just think we are. Well except wateroftyne and Guy Prat and Kevin Glasgow and...[/size] [size=4]Welcome on board.[/size] Quote
mixingwithtom Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 What's the bass in that pic? Some frets taken out!? Quote

jezzaboy Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Welcome Yolanda. So nice to have another professional bass player on here to keep the rabble like myself right . Really loved your playing with Mr Weller especially on the clip below. http://youtu.be/iRRB-MS7gJY Lovely looking P bass as well. Do you still have it/use it? Quote

mixingwithtom Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Ah! Forgive my ignorance everyone!!!! Lol Haven't really been following the relay but perhaps I should sign up are those top frets filled? (..yet..!??) Quote

BassTractor Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hey Yolanda, Welcome to BC! Apparently you have a lot to contribute, and I'm sure we'll be hanging from your lips trying to absorb each and every syllable. Me, I noobly have no idea who you are, so I'd ask you to please cut me some slack, so I can find out before getting jealous. BTW, people are not having pops at famous people here. That is a very, very sad misunderstanding. No fear. You'll do just fine. Enjoy the site and its banter! best, bert Quote
KiOgon Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hey Yolanda - yeah like already said - you don't need a big introduction here, I reckon you're a bit late to the party but very very welcome. Always good to see a player of your calibre on side there's not many about (ducks for cover) Have fun, John Quote
