Saxophone for me. Play in a couple of swing bands. Also play baritone horn in a brass band. Took up playing as an adult learner, marginally more rewarding than watching the O's

Re: Does Anyone On Here Play a Musical Instument?
Played the bass since about 1992. Got a Squire Jazz bass. It's currently in storage as if I played it at home the neighbours would probably have me murdered. Started playing the Banjo a few years ago. What I'd really like is a Shackleton banjo. They're made by a company in Norwich and are simply amazing. Unfortuneatly they're also about two and half grand each.

Several. Bass being the main one. All my instruments in my studio since I moved a year ago but haven’t been able to get down there as much as I would have liked recently

Im a huge McCartney fan, but I dont like the violin bass, that has become his trademark..the neck is too t hick for my comparatively small hands.UpminsterO wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:13 amSave your money !ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 10:33 amWow.Ive always wanted a Ricky, but can hardly justify the price for playing along to you Tube lolUpminsterO wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 9:48 am Yep
I played bass in 1972 73 times in a semi pro group
Played Fender Jazz and Rickenbacker - orange amp and hi watt speakers
At present i have an Ibanez GSR200 bought in 2004, and a Yamaha bb414 in beautiful white
I notice Paul Mc gone back to his original cheap Hofner
I tried one in a shop decades ago there ok
Ibanez basses have narrow necks, which i love.
Ive never been a fan of Fenders either......ridiculously expensive now for an American made 'P' bass

The orange amp and the Hi watt made it too much treble and light sound
I should of got a fender precision and or Gibson ebo
Lemmy used a Rick
McCarty uses one
But I ain't as good as them
Now they very expensive - the strings are low to the neck it was good
Martin Gordon got kicked out of Sparks just after the release of "This town ain't big enough" due to a row over basses. He wanted to play his Rick, and they wanted him to play a Fender Precision. So they fired him.
