Vin Venal Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 I'm Vin, and I'm crap at bass! Live in Bristol, originally from Stoke. Into punk/hardcore/post-punk/post-hardcore and 90s alt rock. Technically been playing 20 years, but for most of that I didn't have a bass, so I don't think it counts. I only picked it up again a year or so ago. Hoping to do a band when it's safe. Never learned to play anyway. Just like making noise. I like short scale basses, cuz my back and my fingers are knackered. My rig consists of a Fender Mustang (PJ), a Portaflex, a Fender Rumble 210 Cab, and a minimalist pedalboard with an emphasis on grindy, nasty grit. Nice to be here, to be here... 2 2 Quote

Dad3353 Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Good evening, Vin, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. 1 Quote
Richard R Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Welcome aboard! There isn't a sub forum called "BassCrap", but if there was there would be a lot of us on there! But it's fun improving, however slowly. 1 1 Quote

You will find any number of self-deprecating bassists here who you somehow know could blow the back wall out. I'm not one of them -- I really do aspire to mediocrity. 2 Quote

jazzburger Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Welcome Vin. There are worse things in life than being crap on bass - lucky for me 🙂 Quote
