NickS Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Hi. I joined some years ago and thought I posted about the HH VS Bass combo I'd recently acquired, but maybe not. Anyway, I thought I'd do the intro thing. I'm primarily a UK guitarist (Basingstoke area) dabbling in keyboards, bass and vocals (I sing bass in a local choral society). I played bass, then guitar and keyboards for a while in a Reading-based rock covers band that fell apart about 6 years ago and then picked up the guitar & backing vocals slot in a soul covers band for another few years until our singer decided to relocate from Reading to Bath. Currently I'm playing guitar with a neighbour's band and we're working up some Foo Fighters, Black Keys, Whitesnake (!), Creedence and other bits and pieces plus a smattering of originals. I'm a retired network designer with an interest in electronics from the age of 11; I started my working life in production test and repair at Ferranti Computer Systems in Wythenshawe. My bass assets: HH VS Bass combo, Texas J-bass copy, Epiphone EB-0 (closet queen bought for a Free project, played maybe twice and never gigged), a couple of pedals (Bass Limiter/Enhancer, Bass Eq. I guess I could use my Line 6 M series units for bass if the occasion demanded it but I don't have a bass pickup for my Roland GR-55. 1 Quote
NickS Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 Suddenly my previous posts (2008 - 2010) have become visible to me... anyway, it's almost like starting over so thank you for your good wishes. 1 Quote

nekomatic Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Hello! I grew up in Southampton and am now not far from Wythenshawe, and I think several of my older work colleagues started out at Ferranti. 1 Quote
