Help me reignite my passion

[AM1]

Hi 

Thank you to anyone that reads. 

I’ve had a forced long lay off from bass playing, following going to rock bottom, after almost dying, after a long tough health battle and the recovery from being smashed by a HGV. 

Losing the life passion of music was unspeakably depressing. I’m coming out of hell and desperate to reignite my life passion.

I can now hold a bass again through sheer determination! 

However, I have no bass equipment and just need something basic to get restarted. 

Can anyone help? 

Thank you for reading.

Similar message if you're near Derby. 

All the best, and welcome home 😉

Likewise Kent, good luck

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle and good luck with it. Now is not a bad time to look for used gear, with so many needing to raise some cash to pay for the excesses of Christmas. Where are you based?

Thanks for the welcomes and kindness! 

Currently based in the North West but can get a lift or sort postage. 

Just determined to start over.

Fantastic that you're determined to start over. 

What genre music were you into before your very unfortunate accident? Do you want to be playing the same stuff again now or something different?

This is a really great bass community and I'm sure, between us, we can get you up and playing again.

Likewise, I’m in South Yorkshire with a practice amp going begging if you need one. 

Good luck to you 👍

Hi Al and thanks for the positivity!

 I’m quite diverse and like everything from funk to metal! So versatile bass is the best!

Thank you DeeDee - how thoroughly decent of you. 

I will check out options for lifts and see what’s possible.

I can't imagine how this must have been for you - I'm sure that with determination, you'll get your passion back.

I wish you every success.

I'm in Manchester, I can give you a violin bass (Challenge VP) ⬇️

If you're interested, let me know where you are & we can sort something out.

Wow!! I don’t know what to say!

That’s incredibly kind. I’m not far from Manchester, 30 mins drive. 

Totally overwhelmed. Thank you so much.

Not a problem at all.

PM me & I'll see if I can drop the bass off - this weekend maybe?
