mikeh Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Im Mike and Im an ex bassplayer, yeh right. Quit playing a couple of months ago as Im sure most of you know. I sold all my gear to concentrate on my Archery. Now after watching Stevie on Jonathon Ross last night I want to play again. I have a weekness for Sir Duke, what can I say. So Im looking to buy another bass and something like a MPBT1 It does help that Im being continually asked to Jam with Blues guitarist I know and have played with on and off for a few years. Quote
mikeh Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 lol what can I say, I was told today by a good mate, Once a bassplayer, always a bass player. How right he is Quote
Platypus Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Well given the way the market has been moving, you could probally buy back all your old gear at a good discount ! There's prenty of bargins to be had right now.. P Quote
MythSte Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Oh mike! Did you keep your aggie and epifani? Please tell me you did! Quote

MythSte Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Oh you poor bloke! haha. Ive taken a step back from buying bass gear. It was actually turning into quite a nasty addiction! :S Got a good mid range bass and cracking amp. Heres to simplicity! Quote
MuseMatt Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 always good to see someone returning to the low frequencies! Quote
Machines Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I bet you were on some archery forum and read up about 'BAS' (Bow Aquistion Syndrome) and it reminded you of the futility of it all . Quote
mikeh Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 I was quite suprised to read someone on www.archery-interchange.com use the term GAS!! I was still spending time on ebay looking what bows where coming on for sale!!!! Doesnt matter what you do, if you have GAS you have GAS...... Quote
stingrayfan Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Welcome to the site Mike. Always nice to have a new player... Have you thought about getting a Marcus Miller Jazz, Lakland DJ4, Bongo or maybe a Scheter Model T? You could probably pick one up cheap around here. Forget bow and arrows, get back on the bass!

MythSte Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Im sure you could mod a bass to fire arrows if you tried hard enough. Quote

MythSte Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Well, you dont need to learn to play the bass, you need to learn to funk it? Quote
hatori Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 You can do both mate. Ive still got my Bickerstaff tri laminate and Don Adams longbows. Welcome back! Quote
silverfoxnik Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Welcome back!! Once an addict, always an addict...... And what better 'addiction' to have than bass. Quote
