Bassybert Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, Based in Somerset, UK, have been playing for 20+ years but just returning back to playing bass after quite a few years away playing guitar. Have really missed it, and in retrospect I wish I’d just stuck to bass but hey ho, you lives and learns. I’ve always been really into no frills players who play what the song needs, players like John McVie, Adam Clayton, John Deacon, Duck Dunn, Tim Drummond, Stu Cook etc as well as James Jamerson. Biggest regret of my life was trading in my 75 Jazz for an SG so have got back on the wagon with a brand new Tidepool Blue Player Precision, and will be looking to build a nice rig over the coming months. It’s great to join the forum and feel like I’m coming back to my spiritual home with the bass, and looking forward to many more years of fun playing 🙂 Edited April 30, 2020 by Bassybert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi fellow bass bumpkin! We get 40+ at the bash held just outside Taunton but there must be a fair few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
