Title: Newbie here
Post by: heavychevy on December 01, 2010, 12:32:29 PM
Hello, I didn't see any type of introduction threads so I guess here's mine. My name is Brian and I'm from Central MA, I do recognize some of the names around here from some of the other forums. I recently stumbled across this site while looking for some info on building a Fenderbird.
My current gear: '73 Fender Jazz body/ guts with a Geddy Lee neck
                       '80's Fender black & maple P- Bass
                       and I also recently made my own version of Berry Oakley's "Tractor"
for amps I run a Mesa W/A through 2 Bag End SD-15's, an old V4B through an Ampeg B25b cab, and a little Roland Micro Cube for a practice amp.

Welcome from the UK contingent...

Now, most of us know the rules but as you're new here...

:popcorn:

(there is a gear thread but a portrait of the herd here is more than acceptable... ;))

Nice... I was tempted to build a gold Jazz for my 50th but ended up with black fretless from bits instead...

Ohyeah, an' they only let me in cos of one odd-ball bass (and they've been regretting that ever since :P), and the promise of being (mostly) more caring to my little herd... :vader:

Welcome aboard!  I like the Tractor copy.  It may give me an idea of a cheaper project for my Dark Star.

Mark I haven't seen that pic with the TRC before. That looks great.
