Jay2U Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 I was a member of this site about eight years ago. Must have been for a short while. Don't remember why. Quote
Jay2U Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 My woodshed, a G&L Tribute L-2000, an Ibanez GSR200EX, modified for BEAD tuning and a cheap Chinese P-Bass copy. My son plays the guitars. His newest, a Fender Strat. is missing in this picture. 2 Quote
Jay2U Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Most of my activity is on my YouTube channel. I like to play along and produce silly videos. Here's a link to one of those videos. Zodiac by The Lillingtons from Stella Sapiente, 2017. Edited December 15, 2018 by Jay2U 1 Quote

Jay2U Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 I still didn't properly introduce myself, so here we go. I was born in 1960, in The Netherlands. My father was a multi-instrumentalist. As far as I remember he played organ, piano, violin, harmonica, trombone and accordion. In my teens I played keyboard, but nothing special. Later, in my early twenties I was responsible for a youth bar, where I organised quite a few gigs. In the early 80's we had a few punk bands playing at our venue. Every time I saw a band playing, I thought if I had to choose an instrument, it would be the bass. Many years passed, without playing any instrument at all. At the age of 36 I became father. Eight years later my son wanted to play guitar, so I bought him a cheap acoustic guitar. A few years later he wanted an electric guitar and lessons. We went to a music store to buy him a guitar, a combo and some small stuff. There it happened! I saw many basses on display... At home I tried his guitar when he was asleep. I found out that I really wanted a bass. I didn't even know what GAS was, but I did experience a severe GAS-attack. So I bought my first bass, an Ibanez GSR200EX. I still have it. I modified it to accommodate B, E, A and D strings, plus I removed the pre-amp and optimised a few details. In real life I'm responsible for a thermo-physical calibration and research lab. I'm living in the direct vicinity of the lowest place in The Netherlands. That's about it. 1 Quote
