my name is george, i played bass for about ten years, took a 24 year break,now im back, around march or so my old drummer called and said the old band is getting back together again. im the youngest in the band (im 50) but we still rock. most of you dont know how great a forum like this is. i wish it was around back in the 60s.then again i would have bought microsoft at a dollar. the info ive picked up here has been great. i never heard of a sansamp di until i read about it here, now i wont play without it. i think next ill try ot the bass compactor. i would like to thank all the talkbassers for all your help.
