I don’t have any more time than I did at a younger age, I just have more freedom of choices as far as investing it. Time, like money, has boundaries. More import than what you have is what you spend it on ;o)
ps: I’m an old fart and new to B2B, I really don’t know how I managed to get in this forum
I think you will be surprised how many of us are around the same age and plenty of folks here are older.
Because you belong here. You’ll see
@eric.kiser don’t tar all of us with the same brush
We’re not all equally, erm…‘wise’
Northeast US, 58 now, 54 when I restarted playing after a 40 year break. Kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to get back to it.
Gadget, I am pretty sure you did some cool stuff inbetween playing bass. And, I have kinda done the same thing, if a bit with a shorter break.
Now that I think about it I have had a pretty cool life up to this point. I have a degree in electronics, spent 17 years as an electronics tech for Motorola. Was a BEI certified American Sign Language interpreter, worked at that part time for 5 years, then a commercial helicopter pilot from 2003-2017. Teaching others to fly, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico briefly, aerial tours of the Grand Canyon (best job ever). Then medevac helicopters from 2010-2018, then I grew a brain tumor that put a halt to all that. Found myself sitting at home bored between radiation, chemo treatments and the multitude of doctor appts. Decided it was finally time to start playing again. Now I have 3 Bass guitars, a 4 1/2 year old granddaughter and a 4 1/2 month old grandson to occupy my time. I guess that’s a pretty decent life.
Always wished I had done this…
I was reading the postings in or around the 5th unit and Josh had posted a link to the forum, otherwise I wouldn’t have known it existed.
Just discovered this old poll and found it interesting. Do the oldtimers here feel it’s worth reviving every so often as new Buzzers pass through?
Absolutely
You walked right into that oldtimer trap, oldtimer
Hee, hee, hee.
Oops.
Sorry.
Do the long-term, veteran, wise, and senior BassBuzz forum mavens here feel it’s worth reviving every so often as new Buzzers pass through?
Could this poll be updated to include male or female? Also adapted for that question to be inclusive of all identifications. Seems like this forum is mostly male.
Venerable, wizened, decrepit.
This might not be possible (or simple) due to technical challenges alone - the original poster is sadly no longer with us.
That said, perhaps it is time for a new poll, which someone carefully designs before posting
RIP @Jazzbass19 Joe - you are missed here.
Thanks @joergkutter @John_E , the forum continues to be helpful in ways beyond bass. This loss happened before I returned to Bassbuzz, so I was unaware of the sad occurrence. The words of @Jazzbass19 - If I had gone 2 years earlier when my Dr. recommended… were words that just caused me to just schedule my 2 year late colonoscopy.
Just had mine a few months ago!!
Ask for the pills (prep) Vs the liquid, it’s MUCH easier.
