New bass player - Hello from Surrey

[gjsbass]

Hi,

 

I've been a long-time (25+ years) dabbler with the guitar and have just come back to it after a break of about 2 years...I've just bought a new bass as well (Yamaha TRBX304) which I'm enjoying more than I've ever enjoyed playing the guitar so I'm looking to further my knowledge of the instrument.

 

Currently playing through a Yamaha THR10X via the bass setting but really want to get a proper bass combo.

 

Hoping to find some like minded people here 🙂

 

Gary

Hi

 

Maybe check out the Bass Bash in Addlestone (look in the Events forum for details). Quite a few like-minded souls, and a good amount of gear to have a go on.

Hi Gary.

Hey Gary,

That's exactly how I felt transitioning from guitar.

Weirdly I play some bass runs now that I could never do or guitar before.
