MusicalJuggernaught Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hey Guys and Gals. I am a youngish bass player from the West Country. Have played for about 4ish years. I play mainly jazz or funk. But have recently had to fill in for a local metal band, no idea why i agreed to do that. Have a a couple of instruments. Fender Mike Dirnt P-Bass, i have modded it to the extent to which it can no longer be associated with green day. A Yamaha TRB 4II, Yamaha RBX 374 and a Vox Standard bass (picked up at a car booty for 35 bills ). Amp wise pretty poor, Laney RB3. Use a few effects pedals, Big Muff, Little Stone and Cry Baby. Dunno why i bought the pedals, sounded good at the time. Don't like the sound in a band set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi There, and welcome from another noob! That's a great score for the Vox! I had one and defretted it, sounded really nice as a fretless, what with the pickup near the bridge. They do weigh a bit though! Don't be tempted to take the finish off it though, you won't find anything nice underneath (lesson learned the hard way!) Cheers MBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I shouldn't be such a gear snob Anyway, welcome to BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
