Greetings from Finland!

Hello!


Found out this great forum a while back and thought I'd join.

I'm a Helsinki based Bass player, playing mostly upright in a number of different jazz bands.

Started on the electric and I'm a big Jamerson fan, still playing the p-bass whenever I can!


Keep groovin!

Good afternoon, Eero, and ...



... to the forum. Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. There are a fair few on this forum from Scandinavia, so you are far from alone.

Tervetuloa! I lived around Kouvola area for 16 years. Helsinki was a rare place to visit!

Welcome

[Eerosmith]

Feeling all nice and welcome here!

FinnDave, mine is pretty much the opposite... Although I played two gigs in Kouvola last year!

[FinnDave]

I'm still in touch with some musicians in Kouvola, where did you play there?

Coffee House was the place... They had a jazz evening of sorts, nice audience! Another one was a little festival for kids somewhere near the city.

Gigging in Helsinki area next weekend. 

Any good bass stores to visit?!

[Highfox]

No, none that you won't be shocked at the prices,

[okusman]

I’ll save my €s to buy a pint! 🍺

I don't live in Helsinki So don't know that many guitar shops, but I have bought from these guys before, pretty good 2nd hand collection for round these parts.
