blue Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi Guys,[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Veteran bass guitarist here from Milwaukee by way of New Jersey. [/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]My story is not unusual for those of my vintage. You have heard this before. I watched The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show Sunday night on February 9th, 1964. That was it for me, the lyrics, the fun, the look captured me. My Mom purchased my 1st electric bass the next day.[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I have been playing rock and singing background vocals ever since. Never "made it" however at 60 years old I'm still gigging and play about 70 shows annually ( Fairs, festivals, bars and clubs ). I play in a 70s syle rock band with good people and I'm still having a blast. In short, I'm part of a dieing breed, the older 4 hour bar show guy.[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][u][b]Basses[/b][/u][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hofner 502 Limited Club Bass (German made )[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Gibson, 1991 Sunbust Thunderbird with Ebony Frets[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Gibson, ES-335 Bass Vintage Faded Cherry[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Gibson, Gold Top Bass[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Fender, Sting Precision Bass[/font] Fender, 1959 Precision Bass Reissue G & L, ASAT Bass (Telecaster Body Style) [u][b]AMPs[/b][/u] GK, 1000rb (2) [u][b]Cabs[/b][/u] GK RBX 2 10 cab GK RBX 1 15 cab [u][b]Process[/b][/u] EBS, Multi Comp.
