StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thought I'd be nice and say Hi (after a quick prompt from another member haha) Right then, - I'm Stevie.D - I obviously play bass - Have been for 2 years now - Have a pretty nice collection of basses already (Tobias, BC Rich, Fenders, Epiphone) - In my spare time, I build, customise, set-up and fix guitars and basses for my personal use and for friends - Mainly into 80's heavy metal although I listen to a couple of newer bands - Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) is my main influence for playing bass, Although Markus Grosskopf (Helloween) is another big influence - Iron Maiden are my favourite band - Play bass with my fingers and by choice only use 2 - Used to play in a band until it fell apart (internal arguments etc) - Now in a Glam Metal band call MaddJaxx (www.myspace.com/themaddjaxxband) - Oh, I love football too, Leeds United through and through! Now the cheeky part If your interested, I have a bass combo for sale It's a Peavey TNT150 with an upgraded 300w Celestion speaker Go to my profile and look under my posts, There's a topic I started about it. Looking for around £200 for it. Pick up or delivery. Also, I'm looking into buying a Trace Elliot GP12SMX Head So if you have one for sale, Let me know! Thanks Stevie.D!
