Hey I just made a discovery in the last couple weeks: Take the commitment to spend as much free time as is possible playing the bass and you will get much better very fast.
This is not a test, why are you sitting in your seat now? If you love playing music, then go play music! Why spend hours skimming through the forums (I do it to) when you could be doing what you love? Are we that dependent on technology?
Good luck and enjoy your new talent!

True dat staying on the internet and TalkBass are certainly no substitutes for actual practice time. . . This is however an excellant 'clearinghouse' of helpful, and many times MONEY SAVING gems of information from hundreds of seasoned players here. |

I've used it to help me make decisions on amps, basses, strings, etc. I just think that while some time spent on here can be very beneficial, too much time spent on the forums can detract from your time playin bass.

Good thread, I agree 100%.
(I don't have a P bass, that's why I practice). |

| Ain't it the truth?
It is a good idea to get up, stretch, and walk around for some fresh air every hour or so to refresh your head though.
