Another refugee....

Hi all. Like about 200 others I just jumped ship from TalkBass today. Been peering over the hedge for a long while so thought I should become a fully paid up member. I've been playing bass for about 5 years, before that I played g****r and keys in various go-nowhere bands. Then I migrated to the bass and never looked back. Playing in three bands ATM, a gigging covers band (60s soul, R&B and party-type music), a funk band which I started up just before lockdown (doh!) and a jazz quartet ( to drag me out of my comfort zone). I play Yamaha TRB fretless for jazz, a TRBX 305 for funk and a self build p type bass for a more classic vibe. I play through a Markbass 500 Tube and 2 Vanderkley 112 EXTs and have an always-off dx166 compressor. Looking forward to lots of interesting bass chat!

Good evening, Rob, and ...

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

Hi Rob and 

[Richard R]

Welcome aboard! TRBX305 is a nice bass 🎵

@ped - we don't have to pay import duty on all these US Bassists do we? Just US Basses?

I jumped over here when they banned me a month ago. Now their building burned down. Coincidence...?

 

I gotta say, I have had a good laugh, and a nod since finding out about it.

Another one to swell the BC ranks. The more the merrier.

You like telling us all that you were banned... posting rubbish like that will get you kicked out of here, too.

It was a 30 day ban for "trolling." someone responded to a post of mine, and I replied back. They called that trolling because it was off topic. I had a few points on my record already, so that one probably just put me over the "suspension" limit. That's all. Ban was lifted on the 23rd.
