Hello, new member here from Welwyn Garden City, North of London. I've been playing musical instruments all my life since age 7, started on bass which is my "home" instrument at 15, also over the years I've played guitars, drums and saxophones. And now, at the age of 65 I have just bought a double bass - no doubt I will be asking questions soon!
My bass guitar setup is a Bass Centre "Betsy" (replica of a 1964 Fender Jazz) with active EMG pickups through an Ashdown 300w 1x15 combo with an additional 2x10 cabinet. I also have an Epiphone EB3 as a backup. Kind of old-school player, slapping and shredding are not really my style - I prefer the kind of playing that locks in with the drummer. Favourite players? Too many to mention them all but I love the players from the Canterbury scene bands like Richard Sinclair, Bill MacCormick, Mike Howlett, Hugh Hopper etc as well as players like John Wetton, Bruce Thomas, Colin Moulding, also Carol Kaye, Duck Dunn, James Jamerson. You know, proper bass players
Anyway, it's great to be here!
