Hey! :)

[DeadPixels]

Just dropping in to say hi 👋 

Noob bass player (started learning about 6 months ago), after having little else to do during lockdown gave me the kick up the backside I needed to pick it up 😂

Mostly been learning through playing rocksmith (but if it works, it works, right? 🤷‍♂️)

Already developed a bit of an addiction, with my original purchase, Yamaha RBX170 I still love now, Shine SB 35, dirt cheap 5 string 😂 and the most recent one, Marcus Miller Sire M2 that I love to bits! 

Already learned things about care and setting them up (just not the truss rod, still makes me nervous 😆)

Looks like plenty more to read through and learn here while meeting more of you bass peeps!

Good morning, DP, and ...

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Welcome buddy. Welcome to the deep end!

It's known as The GAS in these here parts.

Welcome to the forum DP.

Welcome. A good teacher can spot faults which you may develop if you self teach or watch videos. Enjoy the ride and start or join a band. I found it helped me improve my confidence and you get a real buzz playing live

Welcome sir...good to see you already have the dreaded GAS (gear acquisition syndrome).
