- Bio
I am a retired ex-firefighter and long distance truck driver and took up the bass seriously when I retired ,mainly as a hobby to keep the old grey cells active,allthough having grown up through the 50s,60s,&70s, I allways had a love of any genre including classical especially LV Beethoven (my hero)
I`m 2 times divorced and now live on my own apart from my beloved cat `Millie` .in a quiet,lovely little village in Wiltshire UK.- Gear
I consider myself a collector more than a serious player and have a few of what I consider are fairly good basses and amps, even if they never get used in anger !!
