KiOgon Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi - just joined & looking for info! Me = old, very old! Shouldn't still be playing bass at my age!!!!!! Ha! My lady has kicked my arse to get me back into the groove after many years of laziness & started me playing again. Had a Tanglewood acoustic/electric kicking around for years so new strings & a dust off got the fingers working again. Then realised the rounded back didn't fit against my rounded belly so had to go shopping (like you do) I hear it's called GAS! Now the proud owner of a Traben Neo Limited, very pleased with, now in need of better amp. I'll be asking for some advise when I find the right place & maybe post a photo or 2.

skankdelvar Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Hi John and welcome It's almost certain that you're not the oldest one here. It's never too late to come back to the fold. Glad you like your bass - very pretty - and I hope you find the amp you're seeking. (I regret the impertinence of the other poster. Please be assured, 99% of BC-er's are possessed of far better manners). Enjoy the forum. Edited October 12, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Welcome from another oldie, and glad to see you've already had a taste of the compassion and fellowship of other basschatters regarding your bass. It's not hideous at all. (it is really) No it's not. (Is really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was it said:- It's not what you got, it's what you do with it that counts Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
