How I started playing bass [story]

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm 19 and in college. me and my buddies (guitarists) were eating breakfast and talking about instruments. I don't remember but somehow we got to the bass ( I
never saw one before!) and I decided THAT'S the one I want to play! so. . . I went down to samash, checked them out discovered that they have macho fat strings and bought a Hartke starter kit and beginner book for about $250. the bass's action was screwed so I took it back and they gave me a new one

Now its a week later and I'm HOOKED!!

I'm still learning new things everyday, hell, everything is new to me, and I got hooked on Flea.



I just found this site, and I decided to post this, if you have any tips i'll appreciate them greatly!
