OK i was give a Peavey Milestone 1V 4 String Bass Guitar, Tourqe Mixer and Amp about 2 years ago. they have sat at the back of the wardrobe since then.

billfaro Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi All. Thanks for the welcomes. Any idea where i can download a chart or a diagram to show where to put my fingers on the fret, would be ideal for practise. Many Thanks. Bill.

Allie Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A Google search for Free Bass Guitar lessons, should turn up a few leads for you. But sent you a PM too. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I had the pleasure of a day trip over the Green Line back in 2002. Really enjoyed it - what a lovely place. I would love to go back some day and see a bit more. Welcome to the joys of learning bass in later life. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has me.
