Hello from Brighton

[meterman]

Hello everybody, I'm Lee from Brighton.

I discovered this forum while researching online about which bass to buy. LOT of great information here and it's invaluable when it's impossible to go into shops at the moment. I play in a couple of bands but I'm only borrowing a bass which is no good really. I used to have a great Fender Bullet USA bass (hope the pic attaches) but I had to sell it a couple of years ago when m**** got too tight to mention. I would have another one straight away but they seem to be pretty hard to find now. 

Anyhow, hope everyone is well and the lockdown isn't driving you all too crazy. Looking forward to spending some time here

Cheers - Lee

Good evening, Lee, and ...

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Hello Lee / @meterman 

Shwmae from South Wales.
I know Brighton quite well. My sister lives in Saltdean.
Really like the area - but if I lived anywhere around there....I'd be spending too much time in GAK! lol

Lockdown isn't driving me too crazy - partly because I was halfway there already...
And I'm not going stir crazy, because I've been in work the whole time anyway
Just missing family, and missing jamming with pals + gigging, of course

The colour on that old Bullet of yours looks fab. Shame you had to sell it
Now you can use lockdown to search for another one

Hiya Marc, thanks for the welcome mate 👍

Yeah it's probably a good thing GAK isn't open again yet! I'm fairly new to Brighton and still finding my way around, I'm from the North East originally (County Durham) and lockdown has taken the edge off my exploring the place. 

And yes, the old Bullet was lovely, I really was gutted to sell it. If I ever find one in my budget again I'll be on it like hair on a gorilla. They're pretty hard to find though, so it might be a long search... 

Cheers - Lee :)

Hey Lee. Just joined myself mate. looks like a great site. I've had some useful support already. Here's one for you. Not too sure about the colour but I hear America are very keen to do a free trade deal with the UK. Can't get cheaper than free. 😉 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/173951607338?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=173951607338&targetid=879842586457&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046426&poi=&campaignid=9445986154&mkgroupid=95782681917&rlsatarget=aud-629407027105:pla-879842586457&abcId=578896&merchantid=6995734&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn7j2BRDrARIsAHJkxmwPiDSvCUuFTXu646rV-AJEGu5EycNAvef1KBCdo2ji687wtMjKDbsaAtYjEALw_wcB

Cheers TD! 👍

Yeah I'm looking at old Fender and Squier Bullets in the States all the time, the shipping costs edge it over my meagre budget sadly. Shame 'cause the necks on them are lovely
