jonpain Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Evening all, Just introducing myself, I'm an occasional bassist in a worship band. I've been playing badly for about 15 years and since having kids 3 years ago I haven't really had time to play at all. The one positive is that I invested in a Gibson Midtown Standard 3 days before we found out he was coming! I started out with a Jim Deacon P Bass copy, then moved to a Warwick Roackbass Streamer 5 string after a year. I had that one for a good long while before upgrading to the Gibson. I also have an Ashton 5 string electro-acoustic that I use for home practise. My amp is a Peavey TKO115 (on permanent loan to the church as I dislike their Laney!)

bigsmokebass Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hey Jonpain Welcome to the forum and some glorious basses you've owned. I guess a good excuse to keep your Gibson is its symbolic to your little man being born... not that I'd expect your Mrs to get you to sell up but I've got your back 😉 Enjoy the forum and performing with the band 😁 BSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not pushing me to do it but it's time for a change and something cheaper again for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
