First I'd like to thank the administrators for taking the time to maintain an impeccable website and well run forum with what seems to be an eclectic bunch with a common thread being the ultimate elevation of the bass as an instrument as well as fortifying a life investment in music.
My name is JimmyMac.I'm 43 and I'm from Redding, ca. Been a musician starting with great grandmas compressor organ where I fell in lust with making my own music
(after, of cores, learning "Bicycle Built for Two. Ha!)
I'm currently writing and recording for other bands as well as my own project Pulp*Funk.

...and am running a musician-only speakeasy style venue in my area where musicians socialize, collaborate and teach/learn.

Though my musical projects require me to play most of the instruments myself, my absolute love is the electric bass guitar. I've got no explanation for this as bass seems to be the most challenging to meet my own expectations. (I may have just answered my own question.)
Anyway, long winded intro but I've lurked here when I can and have learned quite a bit. I hope to be a contribuiting member for as long as y'all will have me.
Much respect
JimmyMac
