Welcome, @blowinblue. Glad youre here. Talk Bass is the Wild West, for sure. There are good folks on that forum, but there are quite a few card-carrying jerks there, too. We actively strive to maintain a civil vibe and discourse here, for everyone’s sake and sanity. Enjoy!
For Whatever The Reason Is , Welcome @blowinblue
Where did the name and profile picture come from and how long have you been playing the bass ?
Stay Groovy ,
Cheers

Hi Alex, @marr26 , welcome, welcome to the best step in your musical career, playing bass
Welcome @blowinblue , to the forum that never goes off topic …………
Thanks. User name came from when I used to play alto sax. Came up with it so I could join eBay and have stuck with it all across the Internet. Even own the domain name blowinblue.com. My father would pay for family and individual portraits every year. This pic is likely from 1959 when I was eight. Played bass from 1976-1985, then took a 17 year break and resumed in 2002.
M. M.
@blowinblue , That 's Fantastic !!!
And I was rather curious about the profile because who doesn’t dig the old sepia photos. With this musical background of yours , how is Bass Buzz treating ya?
Again , welcome to the tribe ,
Cheers
Good day all! This is Denys - a 77 year old taking up bass for the third time in 25 years. This is the last time since I have Dementia which affects memory. I’m also a surfer since 1961 - quit recently. Now retired after 30 years in IT Project Mgmt.
Gear - Dingwall ABZ 5 string, Eden 2x10 combo & Eden 15" - this was my dream set up.
looking forward to learning more songs and technique.
Favorites - King Crimson, Brand X with Percy Jones on bass - and Humble Pie
Welcome @loungesurfer47
Have fun!
Welcome @loungesurfer47 !
Welcome, @loungesurfer47. Glad you’re here. Enjoy!
Those are also a few of my favorites.
I do practice a couple King Crimson songs, Tony Levin is high on my list.
Also some, The League of Gentlemen. Also a Robert Fripp group.
Brand X = a different style and level of playing. Incredibly busy, I’m not yet there…
Humble Pie = After reading your post I went and played, I don’t need no doctor, live version of course. Glad you mentioned HP.
You might also like Tony Levin stuff with Peter Gabriel, its a fair bit easier than the KC.
Good to have you here, enjoy…
