Guest aDx Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 After my wife died I gave up music. Then 2 years ago I started playing with some mates from school. Old blokes are us! It was going knowhere so I replied to an ad on joinmyband doing covers. Got the gig. Now 6 rehearsals later we are doing a gig! My first in 30 years! I am 61. So... Just keep trying... My love for bass is rekindled. It has only taken me 50 year's to get the best bass sound I have ever had. Thanks markbass and Cort. And the bass soul food pedal. And thank you to this forum/site for being an inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 You sir, are an inspiration! I wish my Dad had your get-up-and-go when he found himself in the same position. Has made me think it's not too late and I just need to push him towards one of his former passions. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I hope 61 isn't really old, that'll be me in another 4 days! I was looking back at the year last night, and I have been playing music I love with some really talented people, played some very enjoyable gigs, and the future is currently looking bright. So I'd say - get out there and enjoy yourself, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
