Hello from the Deep South.

[Hobastard]

Hi Guys,

My Name is Dan I'm new to the Forum. I'm a 57 year old ex Bass Player, unable to continue gigging due to family and Shift Work commitments. (almost killed when I fell asleep driving home from a Gig).... I sold my working Bass, a Musicman Stingray Five a long time ago and miss it immensely. I kept my amp, however and my Ibanez Musician Fretless which I bought New in '82. I have also owned a Fender USA (they all were back then) Jazz Bass, which at times was fitted with a Tom Anderson Fretless Neck. (love that Jaco Sound)....

I've been admiring Pitbull Basses (and guitars) for a while now and although many hints were dropped prior to Christmas, there was none to be found under the tree this year. I did, however acquire a Squier P Bass which will be receiving some upgrades in the near future.

I look forward to checking out further your build threads and discussions. Night shifts can be pretty handy there....

Cheers,
Dan.

Welcome Dan. Plenty of kits to pick from where the hardest decision will be which one to start first. If you are into fretless there are a few recently introduced ones worth having a look at otherwise plenty more fretted 4, 5 and 6 string versions too.

Thanks, it's nice to know that way local advice can be given and the rest of us can stay out of the way

Thanks Waz...... Got my Eye on the IB5. Unless a MM5 comes along. Fretted, though, there are too many limitations on where a Fretless suits.... so one is enough.... for now..

Hi Dan welcome to the forum. I've built a PBH-4, IB-5 and IB-6S and they are all fun to play. Ask any questions you have and order a kit so you can start your new obsession haha
