New Guy

Hi Folks,
I found the forum while doing some price research for some gear I was thinking about selling. I've been playing for about 20 years -hard to believe and makes me feel old. I love playing though I don't do it enough these days and not at all since I cut the tendons in my left hand ring and middle fingers -ouch(Also the reason I was considering selling some stuff). I should be healed in a couple months and will be practicing to get back to where I was and push on to new places.

I've only played professionally one time when a friend's bassist got locked up and they needed a fill in for a tour. I loved touring -we played 15 shows in 16 days from Chicago to California then back home to Georgia. It felt really validating when he asked me to tour again -like I was good enough -a bit of self doubt I always had. But the girl I was dating at the time threw a fit, so another tour was a no-go. Looking back, I wish I'd gone since we split soon after that. Ahh life lessons.

I hope to pick up some stuff here and pass along anything I can. I've worked as a luthier and repaired alot of vintage guitars/basses, amps and effects, so hopefully I can contribute.

So, I'm glad to be here and look forward to knowing you all.

 

Hey get your own post. Just kidding.

Seriously, thanks for the hello. Now introduce yourself.(Here or start your own, that's up to you.)
