Auctioneer Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Hi all, nice to meet you! I'm Auctioneer, based in Scotland, and I'm a session guitarist/bassist by trade. Still not quite full time, but after seven years or so I'm finally getting there. I used to be almost exclusively a bassist, then started getting guitar gigs so then I moved to guitar... then I started getting keys gigs so moved to keys... then guitar again... and now I've joined a wedding band as a bassist so that's making a comeback (while I still do guitar dep/session work). Oh well, variety is the spice of life, even if it does mean I have to have multiple different sets of equipment! I've joined these forums to ask a few questions about pro bass work, so expect the occasional silly question in one of the threads here. Looking forward to chatting! 1 Quote
lownote Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Blimey, with that CV I think the trade in questions and advice will be towards you, not us . Welcome, and expect me to ask you something very soon. 1 Quote
Hutton Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Welcome Auctioneer. Whereabouts in Scotland are you based? 1 Quote

I'm on the east coast, though I've found myself doing a lot of central belt gigs as of late. Some lovely venues round there - grand stately homes and castles - but it does mean I frequently end up getting home at 4am! Still, a bit of travel can be fun. Quote

I’m also on the east coast but it’s North East in Aberdeen. If you’re up my way at all give me a shout. 1 Quote

neepheid Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Welcome, fellow Scottish bassist. Not saying Aberdeen is full of suspicious yokels, but if Hutton hadn't asked "furry boot ye frae?", I probably would have 3 Quote

Congrats on getting your head around that lot. What do you auction? or is it mixed general items? Quote
