JayGarrett Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hello all! I was guided here by Sean over on the TC Electronic Bass 2.0 forum. I started my love affair with the low end back in the great Barnsley Bassist Drought of 1988. I'm basically an old goth rocker but love such a varied range of music it confuses most that look at my vinyl/cd/mp3 archives. Originally I wanted to be a guitarist (like so many other kids) but when a friends band was suddenly short of a plank-slapper for his covers band I rushed out and bought a red metal-flake finished Marlin for not very much. Soon I discovered that I was in fact a bassist and not a six-string twanger. Next up was a Hohner The Jack headless bass - it was still (just) the 80's!! Since then, I've left South Yorkshire after numerous original and cover bands and now live in London where I sometimes get a session or stand-in gig but generally spend time with my post punk indie rock band Subset (http://myspace.com/subsetlondon and/or [url="http://SubsetBand.com)"]http://SubsetBand.com)[/url] or my power pop group ByeByeKurt (http://byebyekurt.co.uk). [b]Gear:[/b] Basses - Schecter Diamond Custom 5 (beech) with peacock blue strings, Yamaha Attitude Limited (blue) that I bought in '92 - gotta love Sheehan!, Mex Fender Jazz Fretless (blue), Italia Modulo that has a red crocodile skin kinda finish to the body - this is lovingly known as my pimp-bass Sound - Currently I'm running a Harke HA2000 using a SansAmp RBI as a preamp through Harke Transporter cabs - 4x10 and 1x15. Also in my SKB rack is a dB Technologies full inner-ear monitor rig - all of which is for sale: [url="http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idleparis/"]http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idleparis/[/url] Well - that's me. If you need to know more just ask. [attachment=36340:10620504...348de0_o.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
