Greetings from North East Lincolnshire

Hi all. I thought I'd drop in here and say hello. 

I found this forum on recommendation from a bass playing friend. 

Im pretty new to the bass playing scene, I've only been playing since the beginning of September this year. 

Songs I like and influences are pretty much anything from the 50's to the present day. If I like the sound of it I'll try to learn it. Some songs that I've learnt so far are:

All my loving - The Beatles 

Pure - The lightning seeds

New York City Cops - The strokes (plus one or two more strokes tunes)

Here comes your man - pixies (and most other popular pixies tunes)

Times is running out - muse 

so pretty basic stuff but I'm working at itand I have to remind myself that I only picked up the bass 3 months ago. 

 

Gear wise, nothing to write home about. An early 90's Aria pro 2 that I picked up and a 20w practice amp. They will do me for the time being. 

 

I practice each day, even if for ten minutes on an evening, splitting my time between playing and learning songs and trying to learn theory sort of stuff. 

 

I think that's pretty much it. Oh I'm left handed and play left handed too. 

 

Cheers

Ryan

Good evening, Ryan, and ...

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Cheers dad. That's what I'm here for. To read and learn.

I think I got here with those intentions too. 

Can I suggest you stay out of the gear for sale area, i went from owning 2 basses for 20+ years to around 20 in 2 years !!  

 

.....and to the site

Haha. Thanks Dazed. 

I must admit I've been having a peek at the effects for sale page.
