hi, yet another newb - brit in ca / rick 4003 / carvin rig

UncleFluffy · #1 03-08-2009, 10:50 PM

Hi folks

Just thought I'd sign up after several months of googling bass-related issues and having this forum turn up somewhere in the top 5 every time. You folks seem to know what you're talking about...

I'm a Brit, lived in San Fran for 10 years and enjoy it over here.

Play a Rickenbacker 4003 that I don't really deserve, but I bought it to inspire me to do the work to deserve it. Carvin BX1200, 1x18 and 2x10 rig. $99 Dean Edge as a beater bass for the trunk (surprisingly good for the money).

Considering getting an all-walnut Carvin 5-string icon series made, but - like everyone else seems to be doing - putting the big expenses on hold until we know we're the economy's going.

Looking forward to learning more and meeting everyone.

Hi fluffypsycho

Pleased to meet you. How you settling in?

Read everything yet?

Fluffypsycho - just saw that you'd had your baby stolen. As a fellow 4003 owner, let me offer my commiserations.

And when you find the *&)%*(&# that did it, I'll hold 'em while you hit 'em. And hide the body for you afterwards.

Stumbo - thankyou for the greets and the links. There's reading there to keep me going for a long, long time.

You're welcome! Glad I could help out. IMO, those are some of the best links I've found out of the thousands I've read.

Good luck.

P.S. If I can help out in anyway, shoot my a PM.

A Brit in SF - at least you're used to the weather...
Welcome aboard. Sounds like you've got a good rig.
We just had a NorCal GTG (get together) with a lot of good music shared and cool gear to try out. Keep an eye out for the next one, people are talking about doing it again in 6 months.
