First Post From The North East Coast

[dogload]

Just saying '[b]hello[/b]' from the currently cold, windy and wet, North East coast of England, near the mouth of the Tyne.

Been registered hear for about six months, but erm, forgot!

Anyhoo, I'm a guitarist and part-time bassist. My bass playing is limited mainly to recording, so I don't have a bass rig as such.
Bass-wise I have an old Hohner Arbour PJ type (my No.1), Fender Jazz (Mexican '92-ish) and a Hohner 'violin' copy (from 1991), as well as a borrowed Deusenburg Star bass. These go straight into the PC and then into IK's Ampeg amp model.

Fave bassists: Lemmy, Bill MacCormick, Mike Howlett, Les Pattinson, Paul McCartney, Jack Casady, Geezer Butler, Colin Moulding, Steve Kilbey and probably loads more.

I'm guessing Tynemouth, but you don't want to say in case we all think you're posh.

A hearty welcome from me. Looks like the Basschat Tyneside Mafia's expanding rapidly!

Can do!

Well thanks for the warm welcome you chaps!

Makes a nice change to meet local types. Now, full of caffeine and lured by the gorgeous sunshine streaming through the window, I am [i]very[/i] uncharateristically going to do some gardening... which will probably involve removing a load of neighbour's cat poo!
Ah the joys of impending springtime!

Welcome!
