Hello Everyone

I’m an older guy that loves Bass. I’ve been playing since age 13.
I don’t know where to begin so here goes (please be gentle :tongue:)
.
I have just a bunch of old antique, but playable stuff . Newest to my collection is a Douglas 6 string bass., 2015 Rickenbacker 4003s that my wife bought me. The oldest is a 1965 Epiphone Embassy bass (bat wing head stock) under restoration. Total of 57 guitars and basses.

Played with the most:
Carvin PB-300 with a Peavey 215 cabinet Bi-amped with a Peavey Mark III Bass amp for the Low end with a Peavey 118 cabinet.

Rickenbacker 4003s, Dean 10 string, 2 Aria Pro 5 stringers,
Custom built 8 string, 1976 Kramer 450B, Fender 70’s reissue Jazz.

Favorite Genres:

60’s, 70’s 80’s. Most anything. Funk, Country Rock, Heavy Metal, Thrash. Not a big Hip Hop or electronic fan.

I have to sleep out with the cat. :crazy_face: Actually all my stuff is upstairs. And I can’t go up the steps until the doc says I can. And I get past the sentry that I call my wife. :innocent:
