Re: New Old Bass

I've never even picked up a bass guitar - wouldn't know where to start. Sounds like fun though!

I was the same way Top's. but what fun. Been listening to Willie Dixon and other blues trying to get timing down pat, and having a blast.

Re: New Old Bass

sounds like you enjoy the bass alot badeye,good for you. I have goofed around with them a couple of times,I think if I had one I would try some more playing. I do like all the bass being played in the beatles songs,Abby road has tons of it in most of the songs. I have talked to some players and they say it is alot easier too master then reguler guitar.

I love my bass, and my bass loves me.

You want to play bass?  Learn scales.

Absolutely.
I learned bass playing in a christian worship band.
Sooooo much easier than guitar....but your timing and rhythm have to be spot on.
