bass-curious novice from Surrey

[badger]

greetings muscular-stumped bass (wo)men.

 

I am a moderately-bad guitarist from Surrey who bought a Squier Affinity P bass for some bedroom recording, because fewer stings, how hard can it be, right? 😉

 

I now find myself picking up the bass more than the guitar, getting interested in theory, learning where the notes are on the fretboard & also owning a nice 32" scale CV Jag.  😁

Welcome Badger.

[nilorius]

Best regards Badger and keep the interest active !

I went to see them in about '94 & they were pretty good as I recall (yikes - 29 years ago 😲).

 

haven't tried the other type, although it would probably be cheaper.

I saw them live at about the same time. They're from Larne, about 20 miles up the road from me, so i don't know why I haven't seen them more often.

You preffer to strangle with strings, attack with headstock or hit with body?

Welcome to the board. 

[shantijoe]

Have a look at 'Scot's bass lessons' online- it's about far more than bass lessons!
