CYDbass Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi All I am a bass player of about 2 and a half years, a member of Talkbass.com for about a year, and for some reason unknown even to myself I have only just joined Basschat today. Since it's a UK site it baffles me as to why I've never joined before, but hey, here I am Anyhow, where are my manners? My name is Matty Holland, im 17 years old (18 in 2 weeks...argh!) and am a 6th Form student in Coventry. Studying Maths, Physics and ICT and moving onto a degree in Computer Science in September. I play bass and sing backing vocals in a band called Consult Your Doctor (N.B. There are no Doctors in the band, the name was just amusing ) with two friends and have been doing so for nearly 2 years. We are a cover band at present, maybe moving onto originals in the future but studies have to come first i suppose ! We play a vareity of Rock music, from Muse to ZZ Top, through Rage Against The Machine, Blink-182 and The Offspring. I guess that's my introduction done, thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that bass in your avatar?[/quote] [font="Arial"]Apologies, I didn't mention what I used in the introduction. Its a Peavey Millenium, the active one and is my first decent bass, the one I began playing on being an awful starter pack model. Standard apart from new strings and a 3 position switch to replace the blender knob. I believe mine is now the 'old model' as they're is a new one out. It's the one without the matching headstock And for what its worth, I don't own my own amp (money is tight at 17!) but I do play through a GLＸ Ｂａｓｓ ＥＱ， ａ Ｂｏｓｓ ＤＳ－２ Ｔｕｒｂｏ Ｄｉｓｔｏｒｔｉｏｎ ａｎｄ ａｎ Ａｓｈｄｏｗｎ Ｌｏｍｅｎｚｏ Ｈｙｐｅｒｄｉｖｅ． Ｔｈａｔ ｉｓ ａ ｌｉｓｔ ｔｈａｔ ｉｓ ｄｕｅ ｔｏ ｅｘｐａｎｄ ａｎｙ ｔｉｍｅ ｓｏｏｎ ｔｏｏ ：Ｄ[/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posts seem to consist of the html encodings for the characters rather than the characters themselves. No idea what is causing that, but you could ask for some help in the Forums Issues section. Oh, and welcome to basschat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
