I started out wanting to just mess around a bit, 9 months later I am in a band with several gigs booked and a few under my belt already. It's great fun and playing with others really lifted it to another level for me and gives the impetus to learn new stuff (I am presently working through a new set of thirty songs ready for a gig in the summer).

Telebass Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Welcome! Believe me, that ambition is dangerously likely to grow! You'll have all the support you need to sustain it from here, never fear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
