Hi from Scotland

[Andy Morgan]

Played for 30 years, self-taught mainly finger style, some pick, not slap (I'm rubbish at it). Prefer rock but will play anything. Played live when I lived in England, covers bands, but only a rock god at home these days!

Bit out of touch for a few years. Just here to chat & get back up to speed with bass talk, really.

Cheers all

Andy

Good evening, @Andy Morgan, and ...

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

[Andy Morgan]

Thanks Dad. Looking forward to getting back into it.

Airdrie.

If your geography of Scotland isn't so great, it's about 15 minutes to Glasgow, 30 minutes to Edinburgh.

Welcome from another north of the border BCer, there are a good number of us (although I’ve only been here 10 months).

Welcome Andy.

Fit like?

Not wanting to be left out of the Scottish BCer pile-on (I'm in West Lothian) - hi Andy and welcome to BC!

 

And if your profile pic's anything to go on, welcome to another orange Ibanez EDA owner!

Beautiful looking instrument. It replaced my Status as main gigging bass for a while. I love the plasticky smell when you open the case. Always wondered if I should've gone for the 4 instead of the 5.

 I agree, but I'm weird like that. Others - not so much, the poor EDA was the opening salvo in the recent 'Ugly Basses' thread!

 

Had mine for years and it still smells of plastic!

Hi Andy, welcome to BC from the Scottish Borders!

Everybody knows where Airdrie is, don't they? I used to play the Airdrie Town Hall back in the day. And went to watch Airdrieonians every once in a while, even though they were rubbish.

I wouldn't be able to accurately pinpoint Airdrie on a map, and I've lived in Scotland my entire life...

Shame on you! 😄

Welcome aboard!

If I reserve a space in my memory for Airdrie's location, I'll probably forget part of a song I'm trying to play during a gig.  Can't take that risk, sorry, Airdrie

Of course. It's right in between the 'h' and 'r' of 'hairdrier'.

 

 

 

 

 

...sorry.

Even that fact could knock a riff out of there, sorry

Hi Andy, another one here from north of the border.  About 15 mins away from you.  I play an Ibby too, but it's a SDGR.
