Hi,
I am new to the forum. I have been playing bass for a while. I learned and gigged with a Fender Standard Jazz into an Ampeg rig forever, until I wanted a little more variety. Now I play on a MusicMan Bongo 5 String into an Ampeg rig with LaBella '54 reissue strings. I love the sound but I can't get the fifth string down (been using for about three years). Largely joined here for the classifieds trying to find a 57 Reissue Fender Precision or 62 Reissue Fender Jazz used, but have registered due to some interesting discussions I wanted to take part in.
I play mostly early-era Motown tunes, and trying to get Jamerson-style tone and play is a life-long quest that will never end!
I live in New Orleans and gig pretty frequently although it is not a full time job. I look forward to getting to talking bass with y'all.
Best,
John
