Keeping up the Tall Bassist StereoType

[mogli66]

Hey Everyone. Been on the boards for a while now but just noticed I have never actually written an Introduction.

So Hello to Everyone here.

My name is Mike but I usually get called Mogli (Yeah I know its spelt Mowgli but I wanted to be different) by the people who know me. (It was a High School nick name that stuck. Even my Partners parents call me it).

I am 25 in June and I am a taller bugger. (6'7").

I currently live in Newmains, Scotland. (Near Glasgow). I have played bass for close to 8 years. I have played in numerous different bands. (Metal/ rock bands).

I currently play a 6 string Cort Curbow through a Hartke 3500amp head and 4x10VXA cab. I have other basses which you can see in my sig.

I love all types of music really and love trying to play different styles. Loads of bass heroes too. To many too name.

Any questions ask away.

Welcome

6'7", eh? Bet that Cort looks like a tennis racket hanging off you.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Yeah being as tall as I am it does look like tennis racket. lol. I am skinny though so its not as bad as it could be.

I do have a Tanglewood Curbow 4-string and it looks like a kids bass on me! Like stupidly small. lol!

6 string looks a bit more normal.

A few years back with my 4-string when it worked. Good times.

Just sling a full size double bass round yer neck. That'll do the trick.

No need to thank me.

Hey Guys!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes and the other comments.

Yeah trust me to like the Curbow look. Never thought it would look that small on me. lol!

The 6-string is so nice to play though. Thats my baby for sure! Want more basses though but I know my partner will Kill me if I bring anymore into the house! haha! She is gonna kill me anyway as I have hopefully just bought a starter Fretless to see if I like playing Fretless! *Gets Ready for a beating*. haha!


Yeah Hartke are great for the price! Gives me the sound I like.....Would like to upgrade eventually though. Need to gig more though to justify that though. Not sure what I want for that yet though. Needs to be a punchy amp but also good enough so the mids and treble cut through perfect.
Can be very picky about my sound. Maybe its just the guitar players that I play with that makes my sound im[possible to hear. B*stards!
