Hello fellow Bassists...I'm William. I live here in San Antonio, Texas and have been learning the Bass as of last year. I haven't "really" been practicing like I should, but I'm going to start dedicating more time to do so this week.
If you see my profile, the small amount of gear I have is listed. I prefer fretless/lined basses & usually shop online from Musician's Friend & Rondo Music. I buy picks & small accessories locally. I will be getting into effects pedals soon.
I'm really into "The Cure" and I've printed out many of their songs in Tabs & Lyrics. My major goal is to be able to play (Bass) well enough to join a cover band, possibly original material down the line. I can sing background vocals well, but my wife thinks I sound more like Phil Collins (& I should go that route).
Some of my other favorite artists include: Davie Bowie, Ginger Baker Trio (Jazz), Urge Overkill, Mazzy Star (Dream Pop), Dead Can Dance & various 80's Music.
Well that's about it, I'm glad I found/joined this Forum. I've learned a few things already since joining two days ago. This is a very informative site with some great members. Thanks for reading & sharing your information. Take care!
--- William
