Hello all

Sign in to disble this ad
Well, here I am at 45 years young and about to embark on learning the bass. It’s something I have wanted to do all my life but have never acted upon; so I didn’t want to go to my final resting place saying I never gave it a shot!

I just bought a used Yamaha that looks to be in good shape with a practice amp and plan on slowly learning what I can by myself (I have ordered the Hal Leonard 3 part book series) for a while and then maybe take lessons a little bit later. My son is taking drum lessons so I figure in a year or so it will be good fun for us.

I would even like to maybe play in a church group or a group of old farts playing classic rock.. I have lurked around the forums for a while, and have posted previously and have always found the help here very friendly and for that I thank you.


So, with that said I am sure I will be back on a regular basis asking the same questions that most noobs have asked in the past
Rock on!

Welcome to Talkbass, and welcome to the world of bass.

I take it from your username that you like Jimmy Buffett. I used to play oldies, and Margaritaville was always a crowd favorite.

Better late, than never! Yamaha makes some solid basses and the Hal Leonard bass books are definitely a good place to start. I'm new here to TB as well but I've been checking this site out for a long, long time- tons of great information and tips here.

Welcome to the bass playin' club!
