V4lve Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Been lurking for a few months now and thought I ought to introduce myself. I am Steve, just turned 50. Married with two kids and a day job with HP. Been playing bass for 10ish years (spent most of the rest playing acoustic guitar). Always fancied bass but never really got round to it till I was too old. I play mostly in church but occasionally for some rather eclectic friends ( a Klesma band and a hardcore dance act!). I am not a greatly accomplished player but enjoy keeping the song going. Cant sight read but have a reasonably good ear and tend to play off the cuff (unless practice is really required). My gear is all cheap stuff OLP MM3 and Peavey valve pre-amp, amp and cab but I am pretty happy with it.

I am the guy in the cans behind the guy in the mask and beard. For the KLF fans among you, the guy on the mic is Bello B! I suspect he has no clue who I am.

skankdelvar Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Hi V4lve - welcome to the Forum. In describing yourself, you've listed a number of characteristics - which in one way or another are shared by a large number of people here - except maybe the Klezma - that's a bit more unusual! Hope you enjoy yourself here. Skank Edited August 14, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
