outsidetown Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi everyone, I've been playing guitar for a few months but it's never really clicked, and I had most fun when I was playing basslines with an octave effect. So yesterday I popped on Gumtree and immediately saw a mysterious "4 string bass and amp" listing. Turned out to be a basically new Vintage Modified 70s Jazz and a 25 watt Frontman , which would have been my choice of both guitar and amp. £200 and a nice chat later, I guess I'm a bass player now. Main influences at age 33 are Screaming Females, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Pixies, and all sorts of Motown and Soul. Really, anything with some driving bass is where I'm at. Booked a lesson, and am looking forward to learning more here, too! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Welcome James. Let me just warn you; this won't be the first purchase you are likely to make as a result of the GAS. I hope you get great mileage from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
