disgrace of bass Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi all, Raw beginner at this bass lark...and only just about coherent when I pick it up - but my tutor is patient (she's used to teaching kids, not slow old gits like me). But keen to get into the scene and to interact with people who actually know what they are doing. Invested in my first bass from the Bass Centre - rather lovely looking green 'Bass Collection Jive Bass' (read Fender Jazz copy!), that sounds perfectly wonderful. Not the beginner way I know, but I treated myself to some serious amplification early on - Markbass Little Mark III head and twin 10" driver Markbass cab. Bottom line is it sounds gorgeous - until I actually play something, but that's another story... I live in south Hertfordshire and would be glad to be in contact with any bass - lovers in the area. Message me if you want to chat. I look forward to learning a lot from you people, and am eager to turn from rank amateur to slightly less rank amateur in 2013!!! All the best, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hey Phil, Welcome to BC, and good luck with your missionquest. BC will prove itself to you without any doubt. There's a virtually endless list of themes already discussed - a veritable searchable database - and people are more than willing to chime in and help should you have questions. Great gear start you had. Next thing is to develop some serious Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and before you know it you're poor and wondering why. Enjoy! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastnotleast Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Welcome. I am also new here (from the U.S.A.) and an old guy at 61. The bass is somewhat new to me as well. I have played various instruments in bands over the years and fooled with my bass players' basses but only just recently purchased a bass kit. Being extrememly fortunate to have been asked into a very good modern country rock band. This is a new genre to me as I am more of an R&B fan. My hope is that you will find this forum as friendly and helpful as I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
