ricksterphil Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Hi Been chatting on here for a bit and also made a couple of purchases (combo off Shep + cab of Oldman) Just back into bass playing after a sojourn to the lighter side (6 string jobbies). Played a lot in bands as a teenager/twenty something - had a lovely black Ric 4001 (sold it in 82 for £275 - sob) So back into it, just joined a blues band and revved up and ready. Gear SWR Workingman's 10 combo (ex Shep) sitting on top of an SWR 4x8 cab (ex Oldman) cracking rig for no money compared to list - sounds every bit as good as my old 100 w Matamp on 2 Marshall 4x12's (again sold for peanuts early 80's - double sob) Anyhow, enough walking about old gear I should have kept just bought a Farida Jazz Bass for £160 off fleabay. - cracking bass, finish is excellent as are the pups. Will probably stick a schaller high mass bridge on at some point and am considering some wiring mods etc Anyway if you're up for a back-up and are into Jazz's, the Farida is an excellent choice - Scott Whitley does a review on you tube Might see some of you fellow chatters at the next local meet up near Nottingham Phil Quote

BassTractor Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 All of that is totally of no importance whatsoever. :-( What we need to know is whether that thing is your Blower Bentley! Oh, and will you be racing Miles'tones of this parish in his General Lee Dodge Charger? ;-) Welcome, Phil! I hope you'll thrive here. best, bert Quote

ricksterphil Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Never really left Having said that, the stuff I learned playing on the flash stick has improved my bass playing (well I think so anyhow) Quote

It has something about it that I can't grasp, but I've loved that thing since I was a kid 50 years ago, and jumped in the sofa each time one was visible on the tv screen. Part of that certainly is the cover - assumedly over the back seats in the open four-seater. I loved that. [quote name='ricksterphil' timestamp='1408740828' post='2533197'] women eh, can't live without 'em, can't kill 'em. Lol [/quote] That is indeed very funny, coz as it happens one can in fact kill them. Yes, yes, yes, I have my coat. Quote
