I'm new here. I've been playing bass since November of '09 and I have a gig playing bass at my church. I've just really been on fire learning to play scales and basic patterns as many different ways I can. I am now playing a five string Ibanez. I found out about Talk Bass from a bass cast that I found on iTunes. I'm glad to be a part of these forums and look forward to greatly expanding my knowledge of this awesome instrument!
