Hey people....i just purchased my first bass yesterday and it rocks!!!
i have been playing electric guitar for just over a year now, and am switching.
i bought a ESP AX -104 and was wondering if anyone had any tips or anything?

Run a few scales non stop to build up calluses on your fingertips,of course you having played guitar you should have built those,but you need a little more playing bass though.I often would practice a scale,and play it forward and back word over and over.Learning how to read music is a plus,but having a good ear for music is better.
Just play your ass off and have fun!Good luck to you.
