G'day all,
I have put a couple of posts up so really should introduce myself before becoming a complete pest :)
First up I have finally retired after a life long career in telecommunications, in fact the 50th anniversary dinner to commemorate my years induction is on as I type and funnily enough this first year at college in 1964 was when I started to take playing seriously after putting a band together for an end of year concert.
Despite my primary instrument being bass my current influences are Redd Volkaert & Jerry Donahue.
Over the years the bands I have been in have played Shadows, Beatles, Hendrix / Cream, heavy rock, 70s Prog Rock and finally pretty much all forms of country with prog and country having a heavy emphasis on vocal harmony.
Instruments I have let go over the years include an L series Fender P Bass, 64 Fender VI bass, 59 Telecaster Custom, 61 SG Les Paul Custom. All of these escapees hurt a lot :(
Today in the quiver I have 70s Yamaha Bass with Fender HB pup ( no idea what model bass ), 76 Shergold Masquarader, 2010 Squier Mahogany Thinline, 64 Strat replica, Maton L202 + violin & Marina acoustic.
In build I have the Tele that I have introduced in the "non PB Forum" and a PBH-4 that I am still trying to finish in my mind.
For the PBH-4 the options are limited with the supplied pickguard and if I stick with it the bass will be Arctic White but I may do a different guard to open up the colour options a bit.
That's it for now I'm off to watch the F1 qualifying, thanks for reading the drivel :P
Edited to add: I live in Sutherland Shire which is nothing like that bloody horrible TV show

Welcome Dave, glad to have you on board.

Welcome Dave. Great to have another New South Welshman in the crew!
cheers,
Gav.

G'day Gav,
There is another Shire resident who just purchased a PB Thinline kit after I posted a bit about the PBH-4 in the Aussie forum on TDPRI so you and I are not the only ones
