Hi, everybody!

"Hi, Dr. Nick!" *grin*

So, my name is Jessica, and it's been about 13 years since I've sat down and seriously studied bass. I used play the piano and guitar as well, but I've always loved bass the most. Plus, it's far easier to purchase (and cart around) a bass than a piano. I started lurking here about 3 weeks ago, and I decided that it was finally time for me to say hello and boost the girl-count on this board.

I used to play pretty bad grrrl-punk in high school, but I suppose now you should call me a bluegrass freak. Les Claypool was my initial inspiration to play, but at the moment I'm most blown away by Edgar Meyer. Currently, I'm using a Luna Diana Series Acoustic Bass. It's cute, and a nice starter bass, but I'd like to someday graduate to something better. My husband and I are music freaks, and we enjoy taping. I work from home, and I'm so excited to have something more constructive than "Guitar Hero" to eat up my free time.

I think that's about it. So far, y'all are a wealth of information, and I hope to learn more!

Welcome to Talkbass! Enjoy you time here, but be warned that your pocketbook could become quite a bit lighter due to the amazing instruments you will see (and want).

Welcome to the forum, jessica!

And I'm glad you have this instead of Guitar Hero.

I've been drooling over the classified threads. I can't quite mop up the puddle on my desk fast enough!

Me too! Guitar Hero is fun, but it's so much better to make real music.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, guys!
