Squier / fender vintage modified jazz Squier/fender classic vibe p bass Epiphone IV Thunderbird (that's giving me grief at the moment) and a 2005 american red and white Fender stratocaster also a member of talk bass but american times are crazy they are in bed when i'm about and vice versa so i look forward to talking bass, learning tricks, and improving myself as a bass player! regards to all Edited April 25, 2020 by taddy correct spelling 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangotango Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Alright La! Welcome to the forum from an Expatriate Scouser now living Down South. Friendly bunch on here (even the Mancs! 😉) and you can learn a heck of a lot from all sorts of people. Unfortunately, you will also develop bad habits about "needing" more/better gear from seeing what other people on here have....that's the trade-off I'm afraid. Worth it though. Oh and another Red on here can only be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What caught my eye though was this: i have always been decent at setting guitars up, fret leveling, sanding, intonation and generally straightening guitars out for people, i'm like i said just learning Bass and there's always stuff to do with a guitar? hence the tools cheers spondon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
