Mike Sturbes Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi From Suffolk I have been meaning to register for some time now, 48, played in my teens rediscovered bass a couple of years ago and love it. I play in a blues, rock soul covers band, guitars Aria SB 1000 bought in 1981, Warwick streamer stage one , Hohner B2A 5 , and a home made fretless that need pickups to finish. Made a BFM Omni 10 which sits on top of a home made eminence 15iner Have been lurking and learning, my son plays bass too, What are the chances of that happening Nice forum.
