Let's see. My name is Quel I'm 25 I found this site by accident but I freaking love all the information on it. Around here there are a lot of musicians who guard knowledge. Anyway I just started playing bass in Feb of 08 so I've been soaking everything like a sponge. I have a cheap Ibanez bass that someone gave me as a joke it was really messed up but I did some research and found a guy who could fix it and make it playable I learned to play it regardless and I love it. I jam with a band every Thursday and the rest of the week I either practice by myself or play with one of my friends who plays guitar
So look forward to learning from this forum. |

The Ibanez is okay because the strings are set 19mm apart (on most axes I've seen). That's a good thing. What sort of music do you play?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Northern California | | | Hi, Quel, I'm glad to see more females taking up the bass. You're lucky that you have a band to jam with already. Practice, solo and with a band, is the key to everything.
Best wishes,
Chris |
