Ever since I've been playing an instrument from guitar and for the last 12 or so years the bass I've only ever used and really understood tab. I'm now at the point in my journey I want to learn to read and understand sheet music but I've no idea where to start. Can anyone point me in the direction of a few YouTube vids, articles etc to set me off prepared in the best direction to achieve my aim?

Gave me a right fright this topic 😄

Second rehearsal as a band yesterday and wow! That rush of jamming with others is like a drug and I want more

Thanks for the replies 👍 much appreciated

At our next rehearsal our guitarists are going to be playing songs that would normally be in E down to Eb. I've no issue with this but don't want to make myself an idiot by asking this but anyways 😂 is it just a matter of playing the same notes that would be in E tuning for a song but just with my bass tuned down half a step? Hope that makes sense

Having now got the cab in my possession I can see why a high quality cover not only costs a fair bit but is an essential item 😄

Pardon? 😉

Long shot but does anyone know of a good cover alternative for the Markbass Traveler 102P I've looked at the official branded one but for £50 it seems very pricey for what it is

Well tonight was a first for me as I've never jammed with a guitarist and a drummer before as we've had a challenge finding one to group up with (my brother in law is a drummer which is handy and together we've been practicing for about 5 months) Think I held my own to be honest but I did have sheets for each song on my iPad in eyes view and had an issue with my clip on tuner but apart from that it went great and certainly something to work on. 9 full songs in the bank with Eyes of a Panther by Steel Panther a firm band favourite.
