Hello bass people, my name is Russell, I'm 38. I come from Manchester, England but I live in Sweden, with My Wife, Anna and My daughter Willow.
I Love all different kinds of music but I am especially enamoured with Hiphop, reggae/dub, funk, motown, northern soul, drum n bass, jungle and Santana's first album haha.
I have recently purchased my first bass, a VERY cheap starter pack, I wanted to see how it goes before laying out too much cash. I have always wanted to learn bass and now it is time!
I am new to bass, but no stranger to performing and song writing as I also rap. I have been part of bands, rap crews and worked solo.
I joined the forum with a view to learn more about basses, playing, learning etc
