I never took a bass lesson , I started playing bass at 15 yrs old , I'm 62 now 

I'm ready to start a band since I can't find one to hook up with . I've been in alot of bands , blues ,  punk , cover ,  metal  , thrash  , all original ,  etc etc 

I practiced whatever Genre of music if a band had a badass BASS PLAYER I would 

learn as much as I could and then move on to the next.

If you want to learn more about Bass guitar my opinion is " don't pigeon hole yourself by listening to just 1 or 2 genres of music :?)

Keep an open mind and an open heart 

Here's a few Bass players I admire.

Check them out.

Billy Sheehan -- is ,  in my opinion is more than an incredible bassist , he's an innovator not an imitator.

Brandon Michael --, he's the bass player that gives me problems learning how he plays what he plays.

Steve DiGiorgio -- is a master/monster BASS PLAYER ..

 Playing BASS is the best thing I've been involved with.

ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY

Thanks Bass4real! Solid advice. I do listen to a lot of different genres but should expand more. I love Billy Sheehan but it's been awhile. Haven't listened to the other two but I'll start!
