Len, we are, or should I say "I", am def hip to Hodgkinson and Backdoor. He too is a sworn P-Bass man (the only bass, as far as im concerned)like me! I heard about him through Jonas Hellborg back in the 90's. Though I'm more a Jack Bruce man, Jack is the King!... Well or Entwisle....

Hi Len, Likewise! I haven't been here long I moved back from France after five years where I made some great music! English bands are very rare! I've been through Derby and it seemed a happening place!

The "platoon" is growing! You just can't have enough basses!

I will have being playing bass for 10 years next spring, though im from a (classical) musical family and started instruments at the age of 4. Cello is the longest standing which I did for about 11 years from 6yrs old before taking a break on it to concentrate on my need to be a 'rockstar'. Started playing it again though recently and have fallen back in love with it which is nice! 

my main bass is a 1979 wine red american p-bass (the one in the profile pic) which was a birthday pressie this year. Its effin gorgeous, I feel so lucky to have found it! 

Im now professional so do lots of teaching, sessions, as well as my main band Unkle Bob. Its lots of fun, I'm a lucky and happy girl! BTW get this months (dec) issue of bgm; im being featured in the bass to the future article!! yaaay!

Thank you

The black one is a cheap bass that I removed the frets, the other is a cort c5z. I am only playing with the fretless, and it's awesome.
