Schultzee Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Hi everyone, my name is David and I live in Shropshire. Started out with a red Squire P bass back in the early 90s as a teenager and gave up much too soon (I blame the release of the Sony Playstation!), I have spent the last decade and a half on and off noodling away as a bedroom 6 string guitarist, had a fantastic Gordon Smith Graduate 60 from Birmingham Music Exchange which I still kick myself for selling, I guess we all have one instrument in particular we wished we had kept! My bass interest picked up again when I got a hit of nostalgia from catching some Glastonbury on the tv some time back. Since then I have been listening to the Cure and loads of other 90s bands. I picked up a second hand Peavey Millennium last year but never really bonded with it, really lovely neck and looked pretty cool but I found it unwieldy after years of Strats and the like, also realised active basses are not for me, I like simple things and it was a bit of a faff. After researching a bit I took a punt on an Ibanez Mikro and I am more than happy with it. I can see myself getting rid of my Strat and picking up another short scale to go with the Mikro then I`m set. I am looking forward to learning some good stuff on this forum and also contributing something of value along the way! 1 Quote

Richard R Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Welcome aboard! It's funny what instruments you just click with, or not, and can't really explain why. Glad you like the Mikro, they have a great reputation. Quote
