Hello from Colorado

Hello all. I've been playing bass since 1976. Kind of picked it up by accident when I was 13. It all started with a black Fender Jazz bass copy I started goofing with at a music store...the mighty Cortez brand. :rolleyes: Wonder if they even still exist.

I mainly play rock, metal and blues. I took a hiatus from bass for the last six years as I finally got a drum set in 2005. I spend a lot of time at the vdrums forum.

In the last few weeks, though, I rediscovered how much I enjoyed playing bass and the love affair has started all over again. Good to see a forum dedicated to the bass.

My equipment:

1978 Kramer 650B - had that bass since I was 15. It is still my favorite bass to this day.
1992 Jackson Kelly
2002 Peavey Millenium BXP 5-string
Peavey Firebass 700 amp with 410 cabinet

I just bought an Epiphone Thunderbird Silverburst. It comes tomorrow. Can't wait.

Looking forward to being part of the forum! :)
