Welcome to TB!

You have found the resources you are looking for with TalkBass. The search feature is very powerful. I use it almost every day. Just search/browse through the General Instruction and Technique forums and you will find some great beginner info.

Getting a teacher, such as you plan to do, is the most important step. Getting lessons early on will prevent any bad habits from forming.

Good luck!

Lessons, for sure.

Aside from that.... www.wheatdesign.com/bassbook

thank you guys this will help much. and i like this forum there are so many ppl that your answers come quick. anyways thanx again ill check these sites out.

And,

the book,"Bass Guitar for dummies"..it has a play-along c-d and solid instruction.
