I bought my first bass in March of this year and have had about eight lessons with a tutor about 30 minutes from me here in South Manchester. I've been happy with my progress under him so far and the hourly rate is good too, though I've not had a lesson for a month as I'd broken up my my (now former) partner and didn't have the best concentration levels...

Anyway, I'm ready to commence with lessons again and am thinking of trying someone else, not because the original guy was bad, I just want to see what else is on offer. I know that quite a few guitar teachers do bass lessons, but I'd really like a dedicated bass tutor rather than a guitarist who does bass on the side - I really feel that 'our' instrument deserves more than 'second-string' status.

I'm not opposed to group/weekend sessions in addition to/instead of one-to-one lessons either.

Suggestions please?

Good luck with that - agree that a specialist would be better, but my experience here in north Shropshire is they are few and far between. I had one who looked good who didn't return calls, another decided he couldn't teach me (I think he was being very honest as he realised he didn't have that skill-set). I'm currently with one over the border in Wales and 15 miles away. It's a stop gap as I feel like an after-thought to some extent.

Have you tried musicteachers.co.uk? I'm pretty sure there are some around Knutsford/Altrincham, can't comment on Wilmslow as I wasn't looking that far from the office (I work mid-Cheshire, so I did look for teachers nearer the office than home).
