Strawbs664 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hello from deepest Hampshire. Been lurking here for ages have finally decided to sign up. First picked up a bass in the mid 80s and went through a few bands before family & mortgages caught up with me & limited me to the occasional bedroom noodle. Had to dust stuff off again in the last couple of years as one of my old bands organised an annual charity reunion, and I couldn't let someone else play my basslines 😂 Gear wise, I've been using a my trusty stingray for the last 25+ years but picked up a cheap EB5 last year which has surprised me somewhat as I'd never rated Gibson basses before. Anyhoo, I'll keep lurking, and may pop in now & then to add my four pennorth 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Welcome Strawbs. Nice of you to break cover, as it were. I used to enjoy a good old lurk myself but I was getting funny looks from passers-by. In hindsight, the nudist beach in Studland Bay was perhaps not the best place to do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnyman Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Welcome Strawbs - is the username a reference to your favourite fruit or to the band? If it's the band, then you're doubly welcome as i thought I was the only Strawbs fan on here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbs664 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 The usermane is solely fruit based I'm afraid. I have been tempted by the Strawbs in the past, mainly based on the Rick Wakeman involvement, but have never pulled the trigger, so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbs664 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the welcomes. Still trying to figure out how to add my location to my profile, so for those interested, I'm from Romsey.

On a PC: Select the drop-down menu from your User ID and avatar, top right... Select 'Profile'... Select 'Edit Profile', top right. Scroll down a little, to find 'Location' in the 'Personal Information'' section... Add any other information you wish to divulge whilst you're here ('Birthday', 'About Me' etc...). 'Save' when ready. Et voilà; hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
