maxrossell Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I just realised I've been posting like an idiot for a week and I haven't done one of these. Forgive my rudeness. My name's Max, and I'm the bass player and singer in a band called March. I used to be one of three guitar players but our bassist quit so rather than hire someone else I took over on bass. It's the first time I've held down bass in a band for about nine years, so it's gonna be tough, but I'll get there. My main job, or occupation, or whatever, is as full-time carer for my girlfriend, who has serious bipolar disorder. Before anyone accuses me of being a dole-scrounger, I get paid the tidy sum of £200 a month by the government to do this job, and considering that if I wasn't doing it the government would have to pay other people ten times more to do the job, the taxpayer's getting a pretty sweet deal. Before that I worked variously in administration, management, IT, graphic design, editing and a bunch of other stuff. Other than that, in my spare time I do production, I paint, I'll soon be making videos, and all sorts of other passing hobbies that are far too expensive for my pathetic income. Also, I lived near Paris from age 7 to age 20 and I'm fluent in French. I'm currently 28, a leukemia survivor and ex-alcoholic. That's me. Howdy!

leschirons Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I don't think anyone is likely to call you a dole scrounger. That's some task you've taken on there so all power to you. Especially after the obvious turmoil you've had in your life. Welcome to the forum anyway. A bientot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it'll still be in, stock turnaround in that place is slow as hell. I couldn't swing the Ampeg (bit pricey for me) so I went with a big Ashdown stack. Nice and fat sound though, I reckon with this new Jazz I just picked up it'll be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Its a small old world! The fella you got that Jazz from took my Old Schroeder Cab and an OLP a while back.

Not heard from him since though, I dunno. He's still playing bass in Heavy Fluid Addicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
