dclaassen Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Hello, I am 63, American, but have lived in the UK for 20 years. I have played my entire life, but only a bit of it as a full-time pro. I teach music at a school, and don't currently gig, but might when I retire. Gear includes: 1995 Pedulla MPV-5 New-ish G&L L2000 Tribute (currently for sale) Hartke Kickback amp I have to admit that I am a bit of a boutique bass snob....I have owned old Fenders, and loved them as well.....

dclaassen Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 I put the Tribby on the shelf and picked up a Yamaha 614...the neck is better for me and I like the pickup pan option. I intend to make the Mpv my go to bass, but can still fumble a bit with the extra string. Hoping to find old folks in Cambridgeshire to start playing with. Quote
Geek99 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Welcome - you’ve been here long enough now not to have to even mention the American thing - we have American members who still live there - shhhh! You’ll wake them up early and they’ll be all grumpy Quote
