Hector Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi everyone, my name's Hector. I've been playing for about 4-5 years on electric bass and 2 years on upright. My gear at the moment (about to go through a rehaul though) is a Yamaha bb604, Yamaha TRB6-II (mid 90s model), a vintage v940fl, a 2001 Upright of Hungarian origin (not much more than that known about it, but it's got tone for days!) and a seifert bow. I'm playing these through a Markbass LMKII head and an Aguilar GS410 cab. At the moment, I'm at university studying psychology. I've played a few professional recording sessions (playing at www.myspace.com/danakio) and worked in a few function bands (weddings birthdays etc.) but right now I'm concentrating alot on my studies so most of my music is at university. I play the odd jazz gig, have my own post-rock band on the go and play in the philharmonic orchestra every week. Found this place through talkbass.com and I look forward to getting to know you all!

Are you satisfied with the size of your, y'know....? *whistles* Only cure is more gear I'm afraid! (I think that comes from the bassist part of me!) Part of the joy of playing the bass is collecting new gear, and continually searching out new things to enjoy and try out. If it's what makes you happy, at the end of the day why cure it?
