Rageofklugman Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Been lurking on the site for a few months now, so thought it would be a good time to sign up and hello. I made some abortive attempts to learn bass as a student and have picked it up again now that I'm starting to get worryingly close to 40. Really enjoying it and slowly working my way through the Rock School books. Not much gear to speak of at the moment - I'm gradually building a bitsa 51 pbass and use a Jackson PJ bass that I bought new in 2000. I know nothing about it, except that it was the same price as the basic Squier package at the time so am assuming it came from China. To be honest, the big pointy headstock seemed like a much better idea when I was 20! Apart from that... Mostly listen to stoner rock / doom sort of stuff. I'm subscribed to Ripple Music on Bandcamp which covers my tastes pretty well. Also keen on the odd 70s novelty song. Why do you never hear The Streak by Ray Stevens on the radio any more?

Nothing to worry about, in fact your 40-60s will make you realise what a load of balls the 0-40s really were. Oh and welcome of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 54 P bass body in a Guitarbuild flash sale a few weeks ago. I've finally managed to get it the colour I want using wood dye and will be lacquering it over the next few days. I've got vague plans for the other bits and pieces, but given the really limited time I have to work on it it's going to take ages to finish.

Rageofklugman Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Also kicking myself for not using Bassing-stoke in the subject title. Life is a catalogue of missed opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to see your progress in the Build Diaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobF Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Welcome , your mention of 'the streak' reminds me I heard it on Radio Caroline Flashback only this weekend ! I remember 40, but it was a quarter of a century ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Welcome. You really needn't worry about hitting 40, you just need a fascinating new interest to absorb you. Oh, look - you found one! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rageofklugman Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks for all the replies, what a friendly bunch you are! Been annoyingly busy with work the last few weeks, but I actually got round to doing some lacquering on that p bass body yesterday. I just need to find the time to take some photos to post it in the build diaries now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
