Looks like I'm the only Bass player to respond so far. Typical. Everybody wants to be the Guitar Hero. The good thing about being the bass player or drummer: you can always find a band to jam with. Guitarists are a dime a dozen, but the rythym section is harder to come by and is kinda important, no? My rig: Ibanez SR 400 with active pickups (both single coil and humbucker), Behringer BX4500H 450 Watt head with Hartke 4 X 10 speaker cabinet. I also sport a Dean playmate acoustic bass for quiet practice or campfire fun. Check out my band at http://workingmanbluesband.com/.
Merry Christmas everybody!

 

Been playing since I was a kid, starting off with drums and then moving to bass as a teenager. Soon thereafter I started playing guitar and that led to getting home recording gear. Played bass and sang a little in a bar band during my college years and continued guitar as a means to songwriting and recording. The whole recording thing led me to learn rudamentary keyboard playing and about 5 years ago I had the full-on 16 track digital home studio with electric, acoustic and bass guitars, keyboards with sequencing, Roland V-drums, a crap load of mics and a rack full of outboard gear.

Problem was, with a job and family it was just way too time consuming, and I was too burned out to do anything creative with the little time that I had, so I sold everything except for the guitars and bought some cool motorcycles instead.

Ironically I just ordered myself a Boss BR-600 just to have something simple and fun to play around with without having a roomfull of stuff to deal with.

 

there's many of us singing the blues because the weather won't let us ride. Does that count?
