Hi all
I've been looking through this site for several days now. Sooooooooo much great info, you should be proud of making this such a great
and friendly resource.
Me, well I play bass and lead worship in my local church on a regular basis, mostly modern contemporary songs.
Having small hands which are now stiff from tears of Karate, playing rugby (that's like American Football with the gloves off
) and a couple more motorcycle crashes than I like, I don't (can't) get too fancy but I like to lay down a steady bass line that keeps things moving.
I'm in the market for a new (better) bass which I'm researching on this site.
Gear, a cheap Aria 5 string bass, an Ashdown ABM500 amp into an Ashdown ABM4x10 and Eden D118XL. Assited by Aphex bass exciter and Boss reverb talent enhancer pedals
Musical tastes - anything except rap and over vocally-embellished R&B. Currently playing a lot of Jamiroquai, Foo Fighters, James Brown and Joe Bonamassa on my iPod.
Last gigs I went to - Joe Satriani and Dave LaRue (he's good! - looks like an American Noddy Holder!)on the Super Colossal tour, Limehouse Lizzy (brilliant Thin Lizzy tribute) and The Hamsters (another great hard-working band)
Next gig lined up to see - Nine Below Zero (fabulous R&B (no, not Beyonce style
) band.
Job - for you Americans I'm a 30 year Law Enforcement veteran, for you British I'm an old copper on the beat
Things I don't like about this site - seeing how cheap you get great guitars for in the States!!! Whatever you pay in dollars, just double it to get the UK price!
Great to be here - enjoying ever minute - Thanks
Hamster
