    Default Hello from So. MD

    Hi

    I just joined the forum and am looking foward to gathering insight from all you guys!

    I used to play bass from about 1970 through about 1990. I fooled around a bit on guitar and keyboards as well, but my main thing was bass. Through a series of circumstances, I ended up getting into professional sound reinforcement, (live sound engineering). I was in business with a partner (who now works for NASA, but still keeps his hand in the business a bit). We had the privilage of working for some of the biggest bands through the 80's. I have been away from music for a long time and am looking foward to getting back into it a bit. We have a place set up to get together and jam, but I have come to the realization that I can't play any more and don't know anything about the current hot set ups, best strings, straps, pickups, bridges, etc...

    I still have my Fender Precision bass and just got an Epiphone 57 Les Paul Jr. Reissue and an Epiphone SG copy. I am getting a Semi-hollowbody Telecaster soon and want a Rickenbacher bass and a real Les Paul at some point. I also want a vintage SVT set up and Marshall stack. Add some synthesizer/keyboards and some purcussion toys and I'll probably be happy for a while. I hope to get back my feel for playing and all the equipment within the next few years.

    Well, thats it for now. Sorry about the long post....

    Welcome to TheFret.Net!
    No need to apologize for the long post... it's great when a new members give some info about themselves.
    You've got some good gear there, and a Tele, real Les Paul, and a Marshall stack are definite tone generators, sounds like you've got it figured out.
    As for current hot setups...... somebody'll be able to clue you in, I'm sure.
    I play mostly "budget conscious" gear...
    Someone will soon tell you you'll like it here ...OOPS!, I see he already has.... and he's right.
    Someone else will mention the GAS syndrome...but I think you've already acquired that....

    Hi Sculpin.

    I bet you have some great stories from working all those shows. Don't hesitate to throw some of that out here. I can relate. I still work shows during the summer.

    Enjoy the fret, and don't forget that Warren thinks you'll like it here.

    LMAO...


    OK...What is the GAS deal all about????

    GAS = Gear Acquisition Syndrome, a dreaded disease common to Fretters the world over. It leaves you happy, but your wallet empty.
