Philthebushman Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Hey guys and girls, I just thought i would introduce myself. My name is Phil, I'm 24, based in the south-west (nr Bath/Bristol) and in London some of the time. I'm taking a break from my final year of medical school this year to concentrate on my playing, as the band I am playing with is doing very well and will hopefully be signed to a major in the next few weeks. I have been playing for the last 12 years and have played all sorts of genres from Metal to Sri Lankan folk music. My gear: Warwick Thumb thru neck 4-string '65 Fender P-bass with J-pickup (it wasn't me that put it in, but I wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise!) bought just yesterday from a guy called Paul Turner who plays with Jamiroquai Ampeg V4BH Ampeg 6x10" cab Nice to meet you all. Phil Quote

bass_ferret Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Welcome. Good news on the band front - beats working 100 hour weeks as a junior doctor Quote

Good news on the band front - beats working 100 hour weeks as a junior doctor [/quote] Hi Phil, nice to hear of you again. I'm so glad you are still playing. You know I used to groove away on the other side of the stage in the horn section just riding on your bass lines? Still planning to go doctoring then? A good idea to take a few years off to give the band thing a go first before the doctor dosh and commitment sucks you in.... Your successor in the Soul Destroyers is on this very Forum (Rich). Sounds like doing very well! 65 P bass eh? Enjoy that .... 100 hours a week? Sadly they are not allowed to do that any more It means Phil and his colleagues will be operating on you with less than 50% of the hands on training time of his predecessors but hey, that's European Elfin' Safety Law for you Welcome Quote
paul, the Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Welcome, Phil. Sounds like you're in a great place in life (albeit stressful, perhaps). +1 to pics in the porn section. I wanna see that P. Quote
