pintspiller Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Early fifties, been playing off and on for thirty years. Firstly in originals acts, lately doing covers. Originally a guitarist who played bass on his own songwriters demos. First to move to bass in bands when no bassist forthcoming. Eventually bassist only when I realised it was hard getting hired as a guitarist. Sound City B50+ or Carlsbro TC40 head into Hartke Transporter 410. VM Jazz and modified Westfield P basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintspiller Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 @acidbass sure do. Must be ten years since I worked there. I took the wife for a spin around the Sperrins about five years ago. After seeing the sights at Plum, we shopped at Home Bargains before having a bite to eat at the Coach and heading home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah very good, sure it's a great town! I was brought up just a few minutes walk from the Coach Inn. Since moved on to Belfast and back again! Not as much music around the town now as there was even 10 years ago but we still get by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintspiller Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 @acidbass all that stuff is dying off. I'd thought of getting a two-piece together but I think it's tough for them too. When I lived in Dungannon I used to run up to Omagh for a spin to tax the car now and then but eventually just went to Armagh coz it was closer. Got my first soldering iron in Omagh.
