Hello everyone!

[Cornfedapache]

hi y'all

As I'm new here (lured in by what looks like a pic of my old, and much missed bass), I thought I'd intrdouce myself.

After a lay off of about 10 years (and I'm still only 27) I'm back in a band. What started as acoustic folk-roots is turning into rock monster-ness, which is rather nice So cool to be playing again, but if I had more time to practice life would be perfect!

In the stable are my original bass (Fender P copy which I've had since I was 15), my new-ish Shine Active and an Ashton EA bass. All four string - my brain melted when I tried out a 5 string and then with 6 string turned me into a gibbering chimp...

The Shine currently has strange nylon wound strings on (rbbish for an active) that I bought by mistake. However, it does give it a freaky double bass wubble-wubble tone which comes in handy! Can't get rid of the active buzz with these tho!

These are running through an amp I was given on permanent loan - an early 1970s WEM Dominator Mark II. Oh man is that some amp or what!!! I still miss my Peavy BW loaded 600w with Trace Elliott 800 head which I sold years back when I left my last band, but there you go.
The tone of this beast is amazing - and it was free!

So there we have it, that's roughly me... When the band gets going and gigging/recording, I'll post some stuff p

Cheers
Neil / Cornfedapache.
