billfaro Posted October 22, 2014 Author 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. Quote

andyonbass Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Welcome to the forum Bill. Where a bouts in North Cyprus are you? I have relatives in kyrenia whom we visit fairly regularly, really like the place! Quote
seashell Posted October 27, 2014 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. Quote
billfaro Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you. Dame Celia Molestrangler. Yes it is a nice place, but it is chucking down now. Quote
