Hi everyone, my name is Mark and I'm new to the Bass Player forum. I'm looking forward to reading all the thoughts on Bass playing and bass gear in the forum. I'm also a writer and articles on bass are one of my specialties.


I am always looking to help Bass Players get the word out about their band, recordings, gigs and especially their bass axe, amp and effects gear.


My way of giving back to the forum and the bass cats out there.
Just reply and I'll help out your band any way I can.

Mark

Hi Mark

Glad to have you aboard. Who have you written for?
I think you will find a lot of valuable information on this forum. I know I have, though it just proved to me that I know nothing about music. (yet)
Jump on in and have fun.

Their other brother was in a pot on my stove. Said his name was "Stew".

You can find a link to his stuff at http://www.canadianguitarplayer.com

P.S. I met Chad's parents on a flight from Chicago to Seattle back in May of 2005. His dad automatically identifed the gig bag I was carrying on board as containing a bass.
