Well, this was a long time coming! My name's Mykk, and I'm a 21 y/o guitarist-turned-bassist from the Philadelphia area.

I've been perusing TB threads for a couple of years now (after reading guitar forums for years...gah) for gear research; while guitar was my primary instrument, I played enough bass and was just enough of a gearhead to want to keep up on the latest gear trends.

I formed a jam band in October, Salsa Shark, with two other guitarists and a drummer; the other two guitarists jammed first and had chemistry, so I switched to bass. While my research has led me all over the Internet and to conversations with many a bassist, TB has easily been my most valuable resource during my transition to the bass world in terms of gear and playing. Hopefully, I can pay it forward and use my unique perspective to contribute to this awesome community!

Welcome to the bass world Mykk, my name is also Mykk. As I'm sure you can see, despite the physical and mechanical similarities to a guitar it is indeed a completely different beast with completely different equipment needs. Talkbass is a great forum with some good people, any of your questions will get a quick response here.

Cheers ~Mykk
