New total this forum after focusing on bass for the past while. I've started back on the skinny strings and thought this forum could help get my playing on track.
In answer to the questions:
Q1: Where did you username come from?
My kids goldfish had just died and we were looking for a replacement so had fish on the brain. I liked the alliteration.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Glasgow southside
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
It was once to get on to top of the pops before I was 30, but I missed the boat on that as they cancelled the program (before I was 30 I think), also the lack of any viable pop music hits scuppered me. Now I just want to get playing with other people and make a musical connection.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Sandberg California vm5 (bass). It feels like home, it does all the sounds I need.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Tough call. Probably changes daily but I'll say Ain't No Love Lost by Patti Jo. A version of the Curtis Mayfield song that is far superior in every way. Pure soul.
Playing wise my own situation is not what I would like it to be at the moment but am ever optimistic regarding getting back into playing after the whole Covid situation.
I love guitars & amps and have too many really so will in time try and thin out the collection.As you all know you sell something then something else comes along that lures you in !
Hello people,
Having purchased 3 guitars from The fretboard (all very positive experiences) and stealthily surfing the wealth of knowledge found on the forum, I thought it was about time I introduced myself.
My name is Marcin (44yo), my username is simply my initials spelt out “M.Z.” Although born in Warsaw I grew up in Melbourne where everybody called me by my initials, I have been based in London (Lambeth) for over a decade.
After a 20-year Hiatus, I picked up a guitar again around 3 years ago. I’m partial to drippy reverb and an Offset (particularly a Jag) and am currently in the process of working on a few original tracks with some wonderful individuals who have agreed to give up their time to record with me. The project is of the Surf, Spy, spag-western variety, my only ambition is to create something that all involved will be satisfied with.
My Princeton reverb is probably my fav bit of kit at the mo and although I couldn’t possibly tell you my #1 track, I’ve recently been listening to Rowland S Howard, The Strange Boys, Reverend Horton heat, Charlie Megira and loads of Marricone.
Many thanks to the individuals who established The Fretboard and keep the wheels rolling!
M.Z.
