ben4343 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi team. I'm Ben, and though I consider Cornwall as home, I am currently based in Trondheim, Norway. I've messed around with bass (and acoustic guitar) for about 10 years, but I have only taken it seriously for the last 4. I started to play because my Dad does, and he's pretty cool. 2 years ago I bought myself a Sandberg Cali Umbo 4 instead of the Fender J I thought I wanted. I am currently upgrading the Kustom combi I mooch off the old man (turns out we are never too old for this kind of behaviour) to my first mini stack; Ashdown Rootmaster 420 head, with a 210 and 115 cab. I decided to sign up as I have got heaps of great info from the boards about effects (my word pedals are a slippery and expensive slope...! The first has been a ZVex Mastotron) which I was extremely grateful for, and hope to be able to return the favour one day... Looking forward to soaking up more knowledge! See you around, happy playing. Quote

ben4343 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm made up to see some Kernow folk about; do either of you play in local bands?

odysseus Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I've just done a year with Weazeldust, a punky rock'n'roll band. Had to pack it in due to shift work, unfortunately. Not playing live at the mo, but still writing stuff and learning new stuff on the bass Quote
