Leonard Smalls Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Hello! Thought I'd join some UK bassists... I've been playing bass for about 28 years and use a Kawai Sleekline, Wal Custom 2 and Sandberg Basic (all 4 string) into Marshall Jubilee head/PD 15" cab via Qtron and Yamaha FX770... Not playing in any bands at the moment as here in the Shropshire Borders you appear to have 2 choices; folk (usually of the "I saw a pretty maid" type ) or covers (which isn't necessarily a problem, apart from everyone wants to do poor quality copies rather than interpretations..) Anyway, used to play in a punk-funk band in That London, as well as a 15 piece freejazzfunk improv group.. So funk, jazz and rock are what I like playing, preferably all at the same time! Quote
Prosebass Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Leonard welcome on-board , not too many weird beards here but quite a few in covers bands, original is best I agree but it all goes towards paying the bills I suppose. Quite a few Wal players as well. The Kawai sounds interesting have you any photos ? Quote

Greetings!....Son Of Derrick?[/quote] I'm Derek Smalls on Talkbass... But Leonard Smalls is a different ball-game - watch "Raising Arizona" to find out! As for the Kawai, it's mainly relegated to ornamental duties now despite the EMG pick-ups..
