LoneFurrow Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi folks, I thought it was about time I introduced myself - I'm yet another recent-ish joiner who lives in London. I've been on Basschat for the last few months, occasionally chipping in where I can. I played bass for a while in the late 80s, stopped for many years, picked up guitar a few years ago, came to realise I'm happier as a rhythm player, and decided to switch back to bass again. I've already wasted hours browsing around BC, learnt loads and could have bought at least a dozen basses that have been advertised in the For Sale section, funds permitting. As it is, I've traded a couple of guitars for a lovely Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass, and ventured into the world of five string basses with a Musicman Stingray. I'm currently pondering what to do about amps, because I'm still relying on a little old Laney Linebacker 30 from ~ 1987. No great aspirations, other than to have fun, build my skills, and perhaps jam with a few friends at some point. I'm amazed at the range of topics covered on BC, the willingness to share information, and huge depth of expertise available to tap into. A great place to spend time. Hoping to meet a few folks at the London Bass Guitar show in March. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, "grew up" is perhaps too strong a term. Got slightly older might be more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, kind sir. I'll do that. Not sure there's a cure for GAS, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
