Malc62 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Hi there you guys. Mal here from deepest Surrey! I'm a bassist of thirty years standing. My first regular bass gig was keepin' it deep for a function band. I'm still with the same band almost twenty years later, but I had to become our keyboard player about six or seven years ago as I noticed that we couldn't seem to keep a keys player for more than about a year and a half. However, despite that (and about fifteen years playing guitar on solo gigs), I've always kept my hand in and I now find myself keener than ever to get back out there as a bassist. For about fifteen years I've used a Music Man StingRay, and have recently obtained a Fender Jazz Bass which I've modded with EMG pickups (today I bought a Badass II bridge for it). My live rig is a Peavey MegaBass head and MegaBox cab, although I've recenty picked up a Line 6 Bass Pod Pro at a nice price! Looking forward to some bass-related banter! Keep it deep Mal Quote
