Jim Bob Wilkenson Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hello, Basschat UK! I'm from northern New York, USA. And, when I say northern NY, I mean as far north as you can get before crossing the Canadian border (in the corner of Vermont and NY). I've been playing bass for nearly three decades. I'm a HUGE fan of Ashdown, been playing the EB-180-12 since 2007. I've had other "rigs" in the meantime, but have always kept that amp. I seem to dislike everything I've played except the Ashdown! Unfortunately, Ashdown isn't as popular here in the states as they should be so, Basschat UK is the only place I can get any sort of real reviews...hopefully. Currently, I play with a country-, bluegrass-, funk-esque style band; however, my influences are all over the place from Duff McKagan, Oteil Burbridge, Keith Mosely, and (the late) Bobby Sheehan. I can't forget players from the Motown/Staxx era, either, though they are more of an indirect influence. Recently, I started paying attention to Wojtek Pilichowski and Paul Turner. Thanks y'all for the time to introduce myself. I look forward to rapping with everyone! Please! If any of you have suggestions as to whom to listen to and study...I'm all ears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Welcome, Jim Bob! After a 17-year break, my amp choice, in 2003, was an EB15-150. Cracking amp. Paired it with a Mag 115 Deep, and that was a good rig, if slightly quiet for a raucous rock band. These days, I'm at the end of using a Markbass rig, because even that is too heavy for me now. The joys of aging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
