Pbassman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi - just joined up so a word of introduction. I play (bass obviously) in a fairly newly formed band in SE Wales, covering classic pub rock stuff. We have an exceptionally talented lead guitarist (without ego!) and a vocalist with a rich pedigree, and they have joined myself, a drummer and rhythm guitarist for whom this is a new experience. I'm a late starter (now aged 52) and got into this all through collecting basses - currently have 16 though will be thinning out over the winter. My favourite is '73 Jazz bass, thought the '83 Ricky 4001 is very pleasant. Interesting ones - Wilson SAB for late 60s, and '77 Gibson Triumph Recoring Bass. Amplification is Roland DB210, and have an old Carlsbro Delta 300w bass amp + cab, which really ought to be moved on soon, though it is an impresive piece of kit. I'm looking forward to seeing what tips I can pick up from obviously more talented folk on here. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Welcome to Basschat Pbassman, How about showing some of those basses in the Gear porn section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Hi pbassman and welcome Sounds like you've got some seriously interesting kit there! There's a fair amount of useful playing stuff in the technique section, and you'll find some interesting gear in the amps for sale thread - much better prices than ebay and you meet some nice people picking it up. Cheers Skank Edited August 14, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Welcome Phil! Sounds like a nice collection +1 on getting it out in the porn thread .. There's a few of us in the S Wales area. What's your band called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
