andy67 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Here we go again! Evening folks hope I find you all well on this lovely May evening? well where do I begin? used to be drewman22 on the old service and decided when I joined here that I would change my username as I hated drewman22! anyway I am forty and have been playing bass for nearly 30 years and enjoy it immensly. I have just reintroduced myself to playing after nearly 5 years of a break - children blink.gif and have just rejoined and started up a band with some old school friends who are in a similar position to myself! I do own a lot of bass gear: yamaha attitude ltd mkI yamaha attitude ltd mkII yamaha trb5 - premanufactured model! fender american standard pbass ampeg svt pro 3 ampeg 4x10 hlf ashdown 8x10 trace elliot v4 2 1x15 peavey cabs I am a traditional rock fan and have been likened in performance to phill lynott cool.gif who happens to be one of my heroes! fav bands: stiff little fingers ac/dc whitesnake the who van halen david lee roth mr big system of a down to name a few! christ! I missed out Free and Bad Company!!! fav bass players: billy sheehan phil lynott neil murray cliff williams jack bruce john entwhistle with loads of respect to all bass players out there who play and perform no matter how bad or how great - respect my friends! hope this is a little insight into my bass playing history and look forward to interacting with you all on this fine forum! ta andy Edited May 19, 2007 by andy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenshirt Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hello Andy, So you made it across then..... Tell you what, if you've been likened to Mr Lynott then you get my vote.... the bloke was a genius. Do you sing like the great man as well? Mart.
