Chewie Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 G'day all......... It's high time I said hello properly. I started playing bass at college in 1993. A mate had an electric guitar and after teaching me some riffs on it, we decided I should get a bass. That was it. I've never looked back. I've done lots of jamming and recorded some loops and stuff in a few make-shift studios but never been in a band, properly. I worked in and out of the country for years and there was never an opportunity really. I had a car accident a few years back and I spent the entire compensation money on a 1967 Jazz Bass. That then started me on a little journey collecting basses I'd always wanted to play. Lately I've been learning the chords on an accoustic guitar and getting well into that too. I recently bought a Mesa Walkabout, which is beautiful and surprisingly for me, an Ashdown Mag 300, which sounds gorgeous. It was £100. This website and you guys have been an amazing source of inspiration and knowledge to me and I wish I'd joined it a lot earlier. A belated Happy New Year to you all.

JapanAxe Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi Chewie, I believe we may have had an online conversation about Precisions at some point. Still, better late than never with the official welcome thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well spotted 😉👍🏻 It's a Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude 2, 25th anniversary model. Really nice basses, whether you're a fan of Billy or not 😁 I'd love to see some of your basses, seeing as you're an avid collector by the sound of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
