Show Us Your Basses (Part 2)

No. This is a character from a UK TV comedy show. So they’ll be WW2 British Royal Navy gongs.

I watched that clip, pretty funny! I’ve had a few interactions with British sailors! I hope some are here! All some wanted to do is drink and fight! Ah, those were the good days!

Bunch of us on the ship got into a drinking contest with all the English speaking Navy guys in Bahrain (UK, Canada, Australians, and NZers). They were all awesome guys but holy crap us Yanks and Canadians didn’t have any business getting ourselves into that mess.

That would have been a strange time to see an american navy guy in an amsterdam bar :thinking: would have been a welcome sight though

My new Ibanez srsm 725 multiscale. I wanted an upgrade from my Lindo P bass that I started with, and I wanted it to be totally different, and future-proof myself. I think I ticked those boxes. Having the humbuckers, active controls along with the bass, mid and treble knobs gives it SO much variety in sound. I am massively impressed with it! And I have a low B string for more bassiness! There is a learning curve associated with it, I’m still getting mixed up, but I’m not too engrained in my ways as I have only been playing 5 months, so I will adapt :slight_smile:

Hi @Dana, welcome to the forums! Cool looking bass you’ve got there. Maybe you’d like to tell us a little bit more about yourself in the Introduce Yourself! (2024) thread?

Thank you. In all honesty, it’s the strap off my my purple, Lindo, but it kinda looks ok on this.
