timmyo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hello - I'm Tim, a 30something home hobbyist newly arrived here and just bought my bass (from another forumite here) today. I'm thinking of having a couple of lessons just to sort out the real rudiments of technique (for example my picking wrist is sore now where it rests on the guitar from an evening of 'playing' - I'd like to be sure I'm not doing something potentially dangerous from the off.) Oh and the strings keep crashing in to teh fretboard - they don't do that on my guitar. Must be dodgy strings Anyway to keep you entertained if you read this far, here is my lovely new bass : Tim p.s. - any tips for decent beginner learning material appreciated -but NB I don't read music. ta.
