Orphius75 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Hi all, just joined but used basschat as a guest for months. Have been playing guitar for years but with a bass in the background. Recently decided to properly switch and joined a new band. Wished I’d been playing bass all along- it feels so much more natural than guitar!! I play an Ibanez 5 string and just acquired a Hartke ha3000 Head 4.5 410 cab and 215 cab. 2 Quote
TheGreek Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Welcome...are you looking for a Golden bass to go with the Golden Lyre? You've come to the right place.. 1 Quote
SpondonBassed Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Welcome Orphious. Which Ibby have you got? A 215 eh? Nice. Quote
Orphius75 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 Just a Sound Gear GSR205. its relatively simple but seems to be one of the better ones- intonation & tuning is stable, string height good without buzz, plenty of different tones in the active eq. ill probably upgrade to an SR500 or SR505 in the future. (Unless I see one of the LTD F- basses come up!!) The 215xl would be good but one of the drivers is rattling like hell. Trying to source a new one. 1 Quote
josie Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Welcome! Hope the new band goes well, let us know... what sort of music? 1 Quote
Orphius75 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Posted March 11, 2019 Death Metal!! \m/ lots of fast picking and Alex Webster style riffs! Quote
TheGreek Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Doesn't say anything about Death Metal here: Orpheus, ancient Greek legendary hero endowed with superhuman musical skills. He became the patron of a religious movement based on sacred writings said to be his own. Traditionally, Orpheus was the son of a Muse (probably Calliope, the patron of epic poetry) and Oeagrus, a king of Thrace (other versions give Apollo). According to some legends, Apollo gave Orpheus his first lyre. Orpheus’s singing and playing were so beautiful that animals and even trees and rocks moved about him in dance. 1 Quote
bigsmokebass Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Orphius, sometimes you've got to have the bad things in life to really appreciate the good things.... You found those good things eventually and even better for 5 strings 😜✌🏻 Welcome to BassChat my brother. I hope you enjoy your stay as a member and to catch you around. Big Smoke 1 Quote

You'll be better creating a topic on this page here and asking there. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/82-other-instruments/ Apologies Orphius, still hope you're enjoying the forum 😁👍🏻 1 Quote
