Introducing...

NortyFiner · March 14th, 2008, 03:45 AM

Hello everyone. I found this forum while researching my next instrument buy, and learned a lot just in one visit, so I thought this would be a good place to stick around.

My nick is NortyFiner, as in FortyNiner, or San Francisco 49ers. I am a huge 49ers fan, and I use this nick on most of the forums I visit; most people just call me Norty. In real life, I am a mechanic in the US Navy...18 years done, now it's just counting down to retirement on shore duty.

As far as music goes, I am just a hobbyist; I have never been in a band, and probably never will be. I have been into music all my life, but got a late start (college) on learning to play. I struggled for two years trying to play guitar and was never really happy with it. Then one day in 1989, an 84 Fender P bass and I found each other, and I have been stuck on Fenders and playing bass ever since. I am not really that good, and I certainly don't have all the fancy gear. But music is what you make it, and for me, it's fun!

Anyway, thanks for having me here, and I'll see y'all on the forums!

I'd like to thank you for your service to our country and welcome you to the best forum on the internet. I have nothing nice to say about the 49ers so I'll leave it at that. :) GO JETS!
