mattydinx Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Hi All, I'm Matt and I've just recently found myself playing bass having been a guitarist for some 22 years! I'm the other half of @WhoNeedsYou and as of two weeks ago became the bassist of Paramore UK! I hail from South-East Northumberland and work as an IT engineer by day, sound and lighting engineer by night under the guise of Deacon Sound & Light. The only thing bass-related I own is a flightcase for a Jazz Bass....Unfortunately the Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass that I bought to put in it had a faulty neck pickup and had to go back :( I'll be looking to build a live rig comparable to that of Paramore's Jeremy Davis but on a smaller scale, consisting of Ashdown ABM 500 RC EVO III head, 2x10 + 1x15 cabs, Deluxe Jazz Bass (replacement en-route soon I hope!), Gibson Grabber & Ripper basses and maybe a Precision for good measure! Coupled with my Line 6 HX Effects for the various Fuzz/Distortion/Octave pedals he uses. Cheers! 1 Quote

SpondonBassed Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Ee it's a small world... but I wouldn't like to have to mic it up. 2 Quote
WhoNeedsYou Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Welcome t'other half. He's stolen my bass and gear to use while I'm in retirement mode, with my blessing of course. Ps: Anyone selling a large detached house for all this new gear he's gonna buy? 🤣 1 Quote
