johnny dissident Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello one and all,seems I'm one of a growing breed that are returning to the fold. To cut a long and convoluted story short ,I quit playing about 15 years ago, still, to this day can't explain myself. think I must have started to take life too seriously, thought I needed a proper job . Well now I'm back ,and started to make a fool of my self in public again. Gigging really is the best feeling in the world ,apart from love from a good woman. Had to start putting the tools back together again,sold my 1977 stingray and ricky 4001 a while ago. can't afford to replace like for like yet. presently play a vintage ( not bad ,not great) and just picked up a warwick streamer off ebay (await delivery with bated breath) and a little laneyRB4 (great in the bedroom),and recently got myself a bull fiddle,even had that out in public,it's great fun dragging the one into a busy pub on open mike night. so my life has changed, teamed up with an old song writing mucker and I've run into you lot . look forward to chewing the fat.[b][/b] PS does anyone have a pre EB stingray gathering dust? thought not.

Sounds like a fairy tale dude, let us know how the reunion goes. My friend has a vintage guitar; it's got a lovely feel to it. A new set of pups and it could be a very serious instrument imo. po, paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Welcome back to the fold. I did something similar. Strange how the fit takes you! But, at 50 I started it all again, and I'm well into making sure I'm deaf before I retire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
