Found this forum searching "bass". I'm an old guy learning new tricks. Played a bit way back when in school. After 35 years away from music I am back at it. Lessons start in a few days. Pretty darn excited. Picked up a Peavey Grind 4 string bass used and added a PV118 sub to my DJ equipment to play through. This forum looks really good and I think it will help me. Unfortunately I cant offer much help as I am basically clueless at this point.
Thanks! Been reading here throughout the day. At 50 years old I feel like it's my first day at kindergarten. I see tons of beautiful bass', talent and experience dripping from every post.
Welcome. Lot's of great info here! Friendly people too!
I played bass in High School during the late 70's and early 80's. Hows that for dating myself! College, the Navy and subsequent career path took me away!
At 47 I am starting back with the bass. Other than sore fingers , I am having a ball.
Have Fun!
Andy

Welcome. I'm also returning to playing after about a 12-year absence due to an injury. This really is a great forum, and I'm learning a lot, especially about the new(er) equipment and how to use it.
BTW, what thoughts on the 2008 MIA P-bass? Found a new one in charcoal/rosewood for $950 w candy and thinking on pulling trigger. Little scared of the neck width but I think maybe I will get used to it as I get better. I dig the tone obviously.
