Hello from France

Hi folks,

I started to play Bass when I was 17 years old. Then I stoped about 2 or 3 years later... I never sold my basses and in January I started again and love it really. I took some Bass lessons and I started in  a Blues Band.

My favorite Bass is my good old G&L L 2000 Serie E Bass from that time. I live in France but my Mother-Language is german, so please apologize for some mistakes in English.

Here a photo of my treasure:

 

Cheers Snape

Welcome Snape.

How long were you away from your bass?  Lots of members have had breaks in the middle of their bass life.  I've had one that lasted thirty years.

Your written English is better than many native speakers.  You have nothing to apologise for.

Thank you very much SpondonBassed,

I guess it was about 33 years, that I didn't play bass... what a pity, but I was young, started a new life after school, left parents home and everything changed. Especially that I hadn't no more time in the afternoon and with changing friends Ilost my band and so I stoped playing.

In the meantime I started to learn marching drum (for the Carnival of Basel, which is now "Intangible cultural heritage" of UNESCO), and I practise it now for more than 20 years. But I like playing bass. Its like coming home...

But I would apreciate to know other bassists in my region, to exchange experiences.

You have kept up your rhythm appreciation then.  That's more than I did.

Thats true, I guess I never could learn Guitar... just watching the fingers, when they are making the chord.... 🤔

But I've never been against another instrument, I love to play together. I am also playing Washboard in a Brass Band (New Orleans Jazz) and I love it.
