Hi & thanks for the welcome.

Being playing Double Bass since 8 (well, it was a mini-bass) & then bass guitar since 14.

Never been on a bass forum before so good to be surrounded by fellow members of the Southern Low End!!

there's another member, Viper I think, who is in Eastleigh and I think we had members from Fareham and Portsmouth on Bassworld.

Hi Greg.

I'm also a Hants dweller and play in a Southampton based band. Are you in a band? If so, whereabouts do you rehearse?

Let us know when you're gigging.

Thank you all for the welcome.

In response to the questions...

I play in various bands and recording projects.

My main gigging band is with BLUESTATE (www.bluestate.me.uk), which is a funk / soul / blues band. Although its mainly covers, it does get me earning & gigging at least twice ~ three times a week on average.

I do other work with some smaller side projects, and also have worked with American singer / songwriter Tamrah Aeryn, which is origional material simular to Tori Amos style vocals.

Have a good day all,

Greg

Nice one.

My band is called Toupé - play around the place, original two bass player stuff. Lots of influences etc. www.myspace.com/toupe if you wanted to check it out. I actually live right behind the The Blue Keys hotel (in the bins) I'll drop by on a gig night.

Hi, yeah pop in and introduce yourself....we're usually do a more acoustic type set in the bluekeys as it suits the size of the venue. We're always in there at least once a month playing....

If you gig there too, let me know and I'll pop in too on you!!!!

All the best

Greg
