G'day from Western Australia

[Alex_SG]

Hey all

I'm Alex, from Perth, WA, Australia. I am normally a guitarist, but have had a hankering to learn bass for a while.
Today I scored (cheap) a 1988 Aria Pro II (some idiot had loaded it up with some really bad stickers, but something told me to buy it!) and I love it! It is everything I like about playing fretted instruments.

Hope to get to know some new people, and share info and friendship.

Cheers.

Alex

P.S.: Here's a pic of my 10 year old son, Liam, playing with my bass! Enjoy!

Hey Alex, welcome to the forum. That Aria was a good score... Liam is looking cool!
Here's young master discreet (Henry, 12) having just received his first P Bass!



Have fun.

Hi Alex,

Welcome to the world of bass (we're much friendlier than guitarists, aren't we? lol)
And welcome to basschat too

Those old Aria's are pretty damn good basses IMO
I used to fancy owning one years back, and still like the look of them
If you picked it up cheap, then all the better

PS. You are also welcome to beat my country at Rugby....
.... what? Oh you already did!

Welcome to the best bass-playing website ever!

I will be passing thru Perth round about this time next year on a 'geriatric gap year' - maybe we can hook up for a tinnie!

Welcome to BC!

I've spent a bit of time in Perth over the years and still have friends who live there, I must get back there sometime for a visit but being freelance these days makes those long holidays a thing of the past.

Welcome aboard - this is a place you'll probably spend a lot (too much) time :-)
