Hello from Liverpool UK

[de003]

Hi all, i've just joined and have been directed to post an introduction.

i'm David, i have been playing bass for 15 years (guitar for 17 and piano for around 25). i am 'classically trained' so to speak.

I played in bands from 2006 through 2008, first in a heavy stoner rock / grunge kind of band (think Sabbath, QOTSA, Zeppelin), then a classic indie rock band (think Stone Roses, Verve, Kula Shaker).

I worked in studios 2008-2011 as an assistant engineer, then began touring as a technician which i really did, all over the world, until coronavirus hit us. 

Looking to find a 'normal job' and begin performing again. Got a few auditions coming up and dug my bass out of storage too. i really miss being in a band, and working for one isn't the same.

i play an Epiphone EB-3 (full scale SG bass), and a Cruiser CX-100 which despite it's price tag is, in my opinion, a great bass.
Noise comes from Ampeg SVT heads and an Ashdown 4x10. i still love my Bass POD XT as well. 

Looking forward to sharing experiences here.

Good evening, David, and ...

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

Hi David, welcome to BassChat 🙂 

[SpondonBassed]

Welcome David.

Welcome aboard!

I've got a proper job. They're overrated,  but do enable me to feed the family. If I had to rely on my interests to feed them...🙄.

Good luck on the auditions! 👍
