Long time comin'

Hello all!

I'm a guitar player and singer since almost 30 years who recently found myself having to play bass instead of guitar. And I really love it!

Some months ago I was invited to join a band as a singer, and when the first rehersal came up, it turned out they were a bass player short, so I brought my old Aria Pro II TSB-550 just in case I might play some support notes. To my surprise they've never thought about asking a "real" bass player to join, so I suppose I'm doing something right.

I guess I've been a closet bass player for a long time, since I actually bought the bass I'm playing over 20 years ago. However, I always thought playing bass and singing was close to impossible for me, so it stayed an occasional pass-time.

Regards,
Rune
