Just signed up,so i thought i'd better introduce myself,im currently playing bass in my band "HILLBILLY DELUXE uk",and depping with a couple of local (Glasgow) bands,although im origionally from Newcastle.I've been playing bass for about 16 - 17 years ,after switching from guitar,and have never looked back.

My current gear is........

Red,5 string, custom built Jazz ,by Howards Bass Place in Newcastle,with Jim Cairnes neck,EMG select Pickups,gold hardware.
Spare bass - Vintage 5 string.
Spare,spare bass - Jim Deacon MM style with schaller machines,and Seymore Duncan Pickup.
Carlsboro Delta 300w head.
Behringer 600w 2x12 cab.

Im playing country (duh)

***When howard built my jazz ,he also built me a precision,see through blonde,tortoise shell scratch plate,gold hardware,vintage tint laquer on neck,with inscription "pokey little fu**er" on the headstock,i would dearly love to buy this bass back,if anyone knows the whereabouts of it ***

Welcome! Get some pics of your custom bass up in the Bass Porn section

You must be one of the few people who owns/uses a Carlsboro Delta head too - very select gear all round eh?
