Hey Guys

[jdbennet]

Hey guys, my name is James and im new here, currently living in Dundee in scotland.

Been playing bass a year or so (im not that great, but im learning ).

Um, equiptment wise i have a bass with "Shine" written on it, it actually plays (and sounds) very nice - oh and a 50w peavey amp.

I used to have an old shergold bass (crazy 70s thing) which was really nice but the electronics died on that.

So anyway, Hi!

I have still got it, its a shergold marathon (Mark 1, i think, because it has the stereo/mono slider switch)

The nut kind of died too, the G string hangs off of the fretboard.... Im working on fixing the electronics, i believe it just needs a new jack socket, its just i dont really have the time atm.

Hi James and welcome

You've opened a can of worms with that Shergold. Some of the folks here have a severe Jones for that old 70's gear - and money has been known to change hands. Don't be surprised if you find some odd-looking men hanging around outside your house...

Enjoy the forum!

Welcome

and

I had two of those once
My first babys.
If it has a slider switch then it's an early one as the later ones had two jack outs, one that was all strings out that switched to just two of the four when the other socket was used.

And if you haven't already found it, have a look [url="http://www.shergold.co.uk/forum/"]HERE[/url] for more info

Er...hang on. Is your name James Bennet? I do NOT like this one bit. That is my name, although I have a double t.

Next thing you'll be telling us is that you have Scottish relatives and play bass.

[jdbennet]

Oh my god! Both is true! (apart from the T thing, i only have 1 because im wierd lol)

(really)

And yeah its my bass actually in the wiki page
