addictedtobass Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Hi Everybody Thought i'd introduce myself. My name is bob im 44 years old and i live in the land of the roundabout. I have been a guitarist (6 string) for more years than i care to remember , but only just bought my first bass a couple of months ago, i bought a cheapie because i was only going to mess about on it but have since become hooked. i have just bought my second bass its only an epiphone eb0 in pelham blue but i love it , what it lacks in sound versatility it makes up on sheer good looks . i am busy trying to get a basic set up at the moment so i can annoy the neighbours and plan to maybe tweak my epi to see if i can get a tiny bit more tone variation out of it. i have a feeling this site will be a great help to me in the months and years to come.
