practice partners

[wrongway]

I wonder how many beginners are actually jamming with other people or playing with backing tracks.... It seems like jamming along with others (especially drums) is a good way to practice. Are there any beginners or intermediate bass players out there that would like to exchange practice tracks via the net or possibly jam locally? I play guitar and can create some decent drum tracks. I do play a little bass but mostly guitar. I really want to make the most of my practice time and actually record stuff so I can go back and give it a listen so I can see where I need to improve. I'd also like to see how other people interpret the music and what bass lines they come up.
