Azrabella Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) I just recently stumbled across this site a few days ago, and my first impression - er' I'm impressed! About me... well I'm a 60 year old fart that has justgot back into playing after a layoff of some thirty years -probably longer than a few of you young 'un's are old. Anyway, this gitar thang was recommended as therapy after a life saving operation. I needed to excercise both my brain and finger co-ordination. Well, that bit is all behind me now, but after revisiting the stuff I used to enjoy I got to think bass (I blame Stanley Clarke)... never had one before, so I bit the bullet and bought a Hofner fiddle bass - because I thought "semi-acoustic, wanted one just because I think it is an iconic image, can play without an amp, when needed". Whilst it is a stunning thing to look at, it plays crap (intonation stuff). I'm now waiting on a J-bass - that'll be fun? I'll get to try funky stuff - I'll be an old slapper yet. Anyway, sorry for the waffle, and I hope my time here will be both enjoyable and profitable. Edited July 11, 2010 by Azrabella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
