skankdelvar Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 [quote name='The Funk' post='350666' date='Dec 10 2008, 01:32 PM']I was born and raised in London, and I've played around a bit. There are probably not more than 50 good bass players here.[/quote] One less since I left. And I know - I went round and counted. 48, there were.

The Funk Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm being facetious but seriously, there aren't that many good bassists here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 London is I guess the obvious choice, but as others have said or hinted, be prepared for the living costs. They are [i]monstrous[/i]. A 2 bed flat that costs you 600 quid to rent in the provinces will cost you a grand easily in the Smoke. It's not for nothing that big companies give their London staff 'London Weighting' on their salaries. [quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='349630' date='Dec 9 2008, 12:52 PM']I realised that at the age of 25, living in Reading. I then spent seven years in central London building up my non-bass career, before escaping to Yorkshire.[/quote]Let's face it, anywhere is great after Reading. I lived there for 23 years *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
