Hello everyone!

Hi you all!

Back to playing bass after long long 10+ years.

I started playing guitar when i was in elementary school, got some decent education but as soon as i started to listen music more intensely, I switched to bass. And never looked back. I played as an amateur for local bands but at some point of life I completely focused on my non musical career. And little by little, stopped playing completely as work was so overwhelming - although never really stopped enjoying the music.

I am so grateful that i had a chance to change my life a bit, sorted out priorities and decided to not burn myself out completely with work. So at last i have more time and will for my real passion - bass..

I play only fretless and currently own US masters, ep55 - really fantastic five string bass. At this moment i have gk plex preamp that i use for practice but soon i will update my gear with some amp and cab - most probably Aguilar..

Many things to catch up with - so sorry if there will be some noob questions from my side.

Looking forward to playing, meeting y’all and learning new stuff!!

Cheers
 
Welcome!

What's his name?"

"Yossarian, sir," Lieutenant Scheisskopf said.

"Yes, Yossarian. That's right. Yossarian. Yossarian? Is that his name? Yossarian? What the hell kind of a name is Yossarian?"

Lieutenant Scheisskopf had the facts at his finger tips. "It's Yossarian's name, sir," he explained.”

thanks man!

Yossarian - the very sight of the name made Colonel Cathcart shudder. There were so many esses in it. It just had to be subversive. It was like the word "subversive" itself. It was like "seditious" and "insidious" too, and like "socialist," "suspicious," "fascist" and "Communist." It was an odious, alien, distasteful name, a name that just did not inspire confidence.

My second favourite Joseph Heller book. Fantastic stuff.
