and buying a bass! Yeah!
I have a Roland XP-30 expandable synthesizer that has served me well, but I’m so sick of keyboarding. There are like 3 bands that I like that use keyboards and can be played. Synth-pop for the most part requires a great deal of sequencing and is just no fun. Industrial too.
I’m buying an Epiphone Power Bass II, an amp in the $100-150 range and a DOD Death Metal Distortion Box. I’m considering going beyond my means a little to get a Crate amp that has a bunch of onboard effects for $190. We’ll see.
I should get my check for the keyboard tomorrow (sold it to a musician friend), then it’s off to Mars to make purchases. I would post a picture of my bass, but pics don’t do it justice. Big, imposing and black. Has a black glass finish and chrome hardware. Yeah
So anyways, say hello to LC the rockin’ heavy metal bassist (in a few weeks anyway), and goodbye to LC the blipping and bleeping goth rock keyboardist.
Any one who has advice, post away!
LC
