russbass Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Hey there, I’m not a new member (I joined in 2014) but I haven’t signed in for 6 years! Not sure if I introduced myself back then, so doing so now! 🙂 I’ve been playing bass for almost 40 years, never really aligning myself with any particular genre. I have very eclectic taste and draw on this to create original music born out of improvisation, mostly using solo bass and technology. Current gear comprises: Basses: Rickenbacker 4003, Anaconda Crusher CX5, Squier VI (Classic Vibe), GoldTone MicroBass and 3 x franken-basses I’ve built from parts - (a fretted jazz bass, fretless jazz bass and a P bass). Amplification: Ashdown ABM500 EVOIII with 4x10” (CURRENTLY FOR SALE!), Ampeg BA110. Tech: MacBook Pro running Ableton Live, Amplitube running various Ampeg amps and FX, Jam Origin Midi Guitar & Midi Bass, Absynth5 and other soft-synths, misc. live looping software, Behringer FCB1010 foot controller, iPad running TouchAble, Zoom B3, Behringer Ultra Vibrato (cheapo but love this pedal!), HOF reverb. Looking forward to chatting! Russ Edited February 23, 2020 by russbass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
