unimpressed alf Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 ive been browsing this forum for a while (mainly at work...) and decided to sign up and register but to the dismay of my lovely wife anyroad, gear and that? i play a red fender jag (with matching headstock - ever so pretty) with modified pick ups, most notable being the music man style bridge pick up. This goes through a dod envelope filter and a big muff (i love my big muff!!) and now more recently an EHX bass microsynth - which im still getting to grips with, Ill post my pedal setup under the thread for pedal boards later - ive got some questions about it anyway bandwise ive most recently been playing with a band that no1 has ever heard of called hayabusa, which is a kind of experimental metalish progish type affair with some electronics thrown in for the crack - hence the BMS before that i was in A Boy Called Doris which was mint - essentially indie pop but there was a bit more to it than that (honest! - thats what all indie bands say...) which enjoyed moderate success of a single release this time last year but were unable to keep up the momentum and ended up splitting up about a month ago - which was very sad really (but not in the alan partridge sense) so thats me really (i could go into my influences and all that but wont bother - unless you guys are particularly interested), im new to this whole bass forum thing but ive been playing bass for about 10 years now which makes me feel somewhat old... cheers for reading Alf x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] cheers telebass nowt wrong indeed - aslong as you enjoy what your playing and beleive your playing it well - im not normally one for pigeonholing music into the boxes we call genres but sometimes that the easiest way to describe generally what something sounds like without writing a whole essay on the subject - personally i prefer music that takes a much more mix and match approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
