New forum guy here. I'm in Gastonia, North Carolina and been playin' bass since the age of 12. My 57th BD is next week - so if you do the math - I've been thumpin' them big strings for 45 years. I have tons of equipment that I've acquired over the years with a good bit of it being of the "vintage" status. I'm a Paralegal by profession and have been for 35 years. My nickname is Big "O." If you're ever in my neighborhood, let me know and we could have a visit.
