WOW! Talkbass is still out there for all the bass players.Very cool.
Since my old email account no longer exsists I could`nt reincarnate as "Usul" (my username from 10 yrs ago) so I`m going by "HosMan" this time.
Ten or eleven years ago I taught myself,little by little,to play the bass--mainly as a hobby and for fun.This site was a HUGE resource for beginner like me.(Everyone please give your monitor a hug now).
Long story short:due to some physical and life situations I let my bassplaying go by the wayside.During a brief jobless period I had to sell the gear(ever see a grown man cry?).After that I was too angry and bitter at the world in general to consider ever taking up bass guitar again.
My very good friend,Robert,gives me my birthday present yesterday at work.Guess,anyone?
A used Squire(by Fender) 20th Anniversery P-Bass !!! I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! He knew I wanted to get back into it but he also knew I would not do it on my own...so. I`m nervous,anxious,excited and kind of scared as I`m an absolute beginner again.No muscle memory and have to re-learn everything about the instrument.Since my buddy is a guitarist and (usually)in a band I will be able to jam with him eventually.So...back at TalkBass and going back to school!
Some members I remember: John Turner,Crawling Eye,Pacman.
Also a friend from here who lived in Scottland and had a band called "Pandemoneum"? I`d love to chat with him again.
Thanks for reading!
