Hello from the time coast or Scotland

Hi I’m new here I have a Jon Shuker 4 string blue passive jazz bass. And a sansamp Di thingy Peterson stomp tuner a boss looper and I just bought today a Jam Pedal Ripple Fall Bass it should arrive from Greece in about a week. I also have a mint condition Taylor gs mini bass which I am going to sell soon as the covid thing is gone and the shops open again it’s a great little bass but I prefer the Jon Shuker. I’ve been playing for a while but I’m still learning. Im doing an online course with Mark Smith Talking Bass . Net. The course is called Chord tones which I should finish soon then I’m gonna buy his Simple steps to sight reading course. The courses are hard work but all I do is walk the dog cook good basic vegetarian food and study bass guitar and music so HELLO TO EVERYONE I live in Dundee Scotland.
 
Welcome!
Never quite made it to Dundee, but I did play a gig in Newport, across the river, about 30 years ago. Playing in a blues/rock band, small tour around Northern England and Scotland.
In fact, it was almost a gig in the other Scottish Newport, in Caithness, because the driver thought that was where we were supposed to be.
We'd got as far as Inverness before he realised, and that was only because we heard an ad for the gig on local radio!
We started that show a bit late...:D
 
Greetings from South Texas, though I'm currently sheltering in place near Honolulu. Spent December and January binging BritBox and thoroughly enjoyed Shetland. Scotland now right up there at the top of my bucket list. Welcome to TB.
