Hello I'm new again! here and reborn!

[andy67]

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!

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.

Hi Andy!!!!

welcome back

maybe you can help me keep thumper & homer in check so we don't have to move again.....

[simon73]

Hello and welcome... I too approve of the list of bass players.

[andy67]

hey folks


thanks for the welcomes and nice to talk again - sorta! written...

if I could sing like phil - wow! what a thought! I'm hopeless!

I have missed a few from that list particularly folk like: pino paladino, chris squire, JJ burnell, my bass tutor nico - Ian bruce nephew of Jack Bruce! and of course Jaco Pastorious whos reputation will live on for ever and all the other players of whom I have not mentioned...the list is endless and of course all of us!
