  • Biography
    Started playing bass at 14, taking lessons from the start (a condition of my parents if they were to buy me one). I'm a lefty, first bass was an R/H Fender MusicMaster re-strung & played upside down... A year later I found an L/H MusicMaster. 18 months later I was on full scale: Fender P, then J ... first 2 bands in the 80's, then no bands but gave lessons to mid 90's, 3rd band and more basses; Rickenbacker, Cort, Hofner, different J bass then frets removed, 4th band, giving lessons still, Epiphone LP & Ibanez acoustic guitars, more basses: Schecter 5 string, Stingray, Fender Jaguar. The collection is complete! 5th band, still teaching, desktop recording ( Logic Pro with Certification). Styles played - almost anything! Personal pref: PowerPop & Funk.8

  1. being a lefty Ric playing Beatle/McCartney Nut, this is THE best thread I've seen since joining this forum 12 months ago (except for the pic of Nick Nolte corpse)
  2. ..interseting...I still put 'em on ...last time I used flatwounds was when I was learing to play, I didn't even realise I had flats! But when I put rounds on they had more give
  3. I'm going to put flatwounds on my Rick soon ...it's only every had rounds since I've had it (10 years), maybe all of it's 29 years. The flats are the same guage as the rounds I use. Will they be any different in terms of tenions or pull on the neck .....I don't know why but I have this idea that flats have a tighter pull ....am I wrong ( again ) ??
  4. I love Teenage Fanclub - excellent pop.
