valere24 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I've realised I've started posting in BassChat (and selling/buying stuff) without introducing myself. My name is Valere Speranza. I am French, based in Bristol UK. I've been on the south west jazz scene for almost 10 years now and have played with most of the jazzers in the Bristol area. My most regular gigs with are the Ruth Hammond band and the Dave Betts Quintet, and a lot of last minute gigs with put together bands. I tend to gig 2/3 times a week, and occasionally teach mature bass players who want to get into more advanced styles (Jazz/Latin/Funk). Gear wise I use a old fretted Yamaha BB1600 (with TI flats), and a fretless Yamaha BB1600. My backup is a MusicMan Stingray. My upright is a 10 years old korean carved bass that I absolutly love. My amps are a GKMB150-E (for upright and quiet electric bass gigs) and a trace elliot Commando 15 combo. For effects I use a Line 6 Bass POD XT, mainly as a tuner, tube preamp and octaver. This a great forum and I hope to have interesting discussions with you guys! Cheers, V.
