Hello, just recently joined (though I have been lurking here a while)
and thought I should officially introduce myself.
Call me Puck (don't ask. Just put an H in there and think about it)
I'm 21, autistic (impaired verbal high-functioning), and love bass! (despite notactually one. I borrow) Any contrabass instrument, really, though bass guitar is what I'm trying to learn. Why? Because no one wants to hear what the bassist has to say!
Really, though, I just love how strong basses sound, how they send just one note out and the entire goddamn place
vibrates. Really, it seems like the bassline is felt as much in my bones as it is heard in my ears (in some cases even more so.) On the rare occasions where I actually get to play one, I always amazes me how
alive they feel in my hands, how their whole body vibrates with each note against mine, making my skeleton play in sympathy, and then I feel this incredible... I don't know how to describe it, like I can feel my body fitting itself together and I'm actually whole... but then I **** up and have to start over.
Guh... it's so hard to describe things when no one invented the words yet. It's almost a mystic thing, really, to point where I'm almost afraid afraid of playing with another person in the house with me, because then they'll ruin it.
Gah... I must sound nuts, but I can't be the only person who feels this way. Right?
). Welcome to TB. Get a bass. Play it- play w/people- because you can.
