jogi Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ...I´m a man of - well, not exactly wealth, but taste? I´d like to think so. Haven´t posted anything here except some PMs, so I thought I might as well introduce meself here. I´ve been playing for over twenty years now and have been working in music shops for about 14 years so as part of the occupational hazards that go along with that job, I´ve accumulated a few basses. Main working bass is my trusted F-Bass NY-5 (much like a BN-5) alongside my Maruszczyk Frog fretless (handmade in Poland) but I also own a ´76 Alembic, ´84 Ken Smith, ´68 Ampeg AMUB, ´64 Danelectro Longhorn... - you get the picture... Apart from working in a shop and playing in a classic rock cover band I´m also a writer and proof reader for this nice bassy magazine: [url="http://www.bassprofessor.de"]Bass Professor[/url] so my happy life revolves around all things bass. Check me out here as well: [url="http://www.myspace.com/jogi68"]my myspace[/url]. As I´m moderator for the bass forum mentioned there I spent most of my time there but I´ll be over here quite a bit as well. Tara for now, Jogi Quote
neepheid Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Welcome to the forum, a good range of gear you've got there Quote
Bilbo Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I guesss from your post you are not based in the UK, Jogi. Am I right? Either way, you are welcome here. Quote
jogi Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Yep, I´ve just made a few changes to my profile settings. Quote
paul, the Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Welcome to Basschat, Jogi. +1 to the above; what a lovely, and interesting range of basses. Quote
SteveK Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Hi Jogi, From Oldenburg eh?.. Guess you'll know the Kulturetage then... Played there a few times over the years (last time 2 or 3 years ago...I think ). I vaguely remember another venue there, but can't remember the name. Steve Quote
jogi Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Steve, yeah - I can see the Kulturetage from where I work. What was the band you were here with? If you´ve played a much bigger venue it would have been the Weser Ems Halle, there are also a few smaller clubs like the Alhambra though some of those that were around a couple of years ago might have gone by now.

SteveK Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 [quote]What was the band you were here with?[/quote] Manfred Mann's Earth Band We must have played there 3 or 4 times. The other venues you mention don't ring any bells...mind you, I'm at the age where bells ring far less than they used to Steve Quote
jogi Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Oh wow! Those were always great concerts. Digging through some tour dates I found that you played the "Ziegelhof" - one of the few concerts ever to be staged there as complaints from the neighbours and a substantial lack of financial funding closed that venue after only two or three bands had played there. Any chance of you playing here again in the near future? Quote
SteveK Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 [quote]Any chance of you playing here again in the near future?[/quote] Sorry Jogi, doesn't look like it [url="http://www.manfredmann.co.uk/on_stage/mantour2000.html"]Clickety click[/url].We do spend a lot of time in Germany though so it's quite likely we'll be in a town near you shortly.
