Captain Bass Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, Ive been on here a little while but I have never got around to introducing myself! My names Andy, I live just outside London. I am 27 years old and have been playing bass about 12 years. I went to the same secondary school as the bass player from Sikth (James Leech) - who was in the year above me. (great player) I originally started out as a singer at a tender young age with a band at seconadary school but the lead guitarist 'suddenly' decided he could sing so he told me to either learn bass or leave :-( As it was my birthday coming up I asked my 'rents for a bass guitar and I decided to get some private lessons straight away! Soon enough I left that band and I was jamming with the guys in the year above me, 12 years down the line I am humbled to say I have had two reputable record deals, released CDs internationally and played some of Europes most well known venues including Earls Court, Brixton Academy, Birmingham NIA, London Astoria (to name a few) Here is some of my bass playing; My first youtube bass vid - "Tom Thumb" Live - Here is an MP3 (3.18MB) of "Tom Thumb" I recorded and produced myself :-) I have uploaded it onto Rapidshare so every one can share it I have also attached it to this Topic.

harvey1-8 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Whenever I follow links to youtube of basschat residents playing I'm always astounded by the level of technicality and musicianship. The first video is cracking. One day my tapping will be that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
