explayer Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi, I'm a new member. I'm 67 and been playing bass since I was 14. I'm based n the UK. I have been a pro player in the 70's and 80's mainly in South Africa and Germany. I've played all types of music from rock, pop, jazz, Latin, blues, soul , Motown and done a lot of session stuff. I've just had a few years lay off because all that finished my marriage. I've now re married and because of itchy fingers I've started playing again. I'm taking it slowly now , so I play with a 13 piece Steely Dan tribute band based in Chester, and a country rock hoedown band based in Manchester. I have a Wal pro bass 1979. A Fender Flea bass, an Overwater Aspiration Deluxe, Fender Jazz MIM. Alembic Epic. Yamaha BB350F fretless bass(which I love). An electric upright bass. For amplification I use an Aguilar AG500DC, and two GS112's. I also have an Eden EC15 combo which I use with the upright. I will be posting some questions soon about effects pedals and things about refinishing a guitar body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Welcome. So lets get this right - you stopped playing because your marriage collapsed due to all the playing, but now you are re-married, you are starting playing again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explayer Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 I stopped playing when I met my second wife. But after a while she knew I was missing it. So I put my profile online and got some good response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
