Muthawhat Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Hi! As title suggests, my names Ross and I'm from Bridport in Dorset. Been playing for a fair few years now, mainly just at home or jams with friends and a few bands... currently wit ha group playing thrash metal, but open to all sorts of music virtually. So at the moment I'm trying to learn a bit more techinically (ie gear, heads, cabs etc) and also try and pick up some new kit! Current rig is pretty rubbish amp wise, got an ancient carlsbrough combo.. but have a couple of nice basses, a 1957 hofner semi acoustic (found in a skip!! then lovingly resotred by my friend) and a german made 6 string bass So thought I would say hello, will chuck some pics up of my guitars later on and probably post alot of stupid questions... cheers Quote
Cat Burrito Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Hey Ross - hurry back with those pictures.... and welcome! Quote
Muthawhat Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 just a quick peak... not sure if these will become my permanent basses or whether they will be sold for soemthing a bit different... but anyway.. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Well that Hofner looks pretty great to me Quote
