Szymon Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hullo folks. Been lurking a while so I thought I should sign up, since this is a UK forum. My name is Simon, and I’m based in Sudbury in NW London (on the border of Wembley and Harrow). Here’s a photo of my first Bass guitar! I’m not actually a bassist, but a month ago I needed to add a bass track on a recording I was making so I borrowed a cheap bass (an Ibanez GSR180)…and was unable to put it down, it was just so much fun! Initially I was playing though an audio interface and hifi, then I bought a small practise amp (the Orange Crush 25 you see in the photo), and the other day I went out to Andertons and played a bunch of guitars around the £200-400 price range, including Fenders, G&L, Music Man, Sire and one or two others. It was a great deal of fun, but when I picked up an SR300EB it just “felt right” for my fingers, was huge fun to play and seemed decently well built — for £260 in the new years sale I think it was a bargain. The bass will be kept up in my music room (alongside three guitars, a piano, two violins, some blue harps and a bunch of other random instruments) most of the time but is currently set up in the lounge because I’ve been playing it non stop since I got it! I think I’m going to be playing bass more than any other instrument for a good while 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Hi... see you found the Ibby thread... Loves an SR!
