Lozz196 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Good Evening Thought seeing as I`ve been viewing Basschat for a while, I should join, and add to the world of Basschetters. Name is Lozz, live in Hertfordshire. 44 yrs old, been playing bass since I was 15. First bass was a Kay Gibson SG type bass copy. It actuall cost me, bear in mind this was 1980 people, £50. Back then, for those fortunate enough to not remember,a pint was approx 30p. So, my first bass, with action of abt an inch off the fret-board, cost the equivalent of 140 pints - equating to £520. Have been in many bands, played many basses, but have found that I`m a Precision man (Leo did get it right, IMHO). Currently have a 97 American Standard, 3TS, RW, Tort scratchplate, 07 American Standard, Black, RW, Black scratchplate, CIJ 51 Re-issue, in butterscoth, maple, MIM Standard, White, RW, Black scratchplate. Also have a MIM Jazz, Classic 70s, in 3TS, which am looking to sell, as have been gassing for a MIM Classic 50s P-Bass, so anyone on the lookout for one of these, please keep a lookout, mine will be gposted soon. Amp-wise, Marshall MB450H, with a Marshall VBC412. I know, P-bass, Marshall, I`m an old-school kinda guy. Main areas of music are punk, and heavy rock, so my set-up does me proud! Thats all for now, sure I`ll post summat else soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenic Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hello, and welcome to the forum. Some nice gear you have there - I really am going to have to get my hands on a 51 RI at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def worth getting a 51 RI - I actually sold mine to a mate, and regretted it virtually from day one, so ended up swapping him a Fender Jazz Aerodyne so I could get it back. In fact, it`s the only instrument I`ve ever regretted selling, still, she`s back home with me now Lozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Howdy! Yep, the 51RI is where its at, alright. My main bass, although I put some TI Jazz Flats on my Standard P last week, and the 51 hasn't got much of a look in since! It can have go at tonight's gig!
