(also played sax for 4 years before I started bass)
got my first bass from my Grandfather a couple weeks after my 12th birthday. He'd collected it from a trash can and was still fixing it. He gave me a shortscale Harmony bass and a starter amp. The amp was an early 70s Ampeg all tube Fliptop combo. |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | 7 years. I started when I was 31, after putting it off for 12. What a moron. Fact is, if I hadn't heard "High Times" by Jamiroquai, I probably wouldn't be playing now. Now I do it for a living.

I learned the most about bassplaying in the first couple of years of playing (the most enjoyable time of my life). When I got back into it later on in life (with a clearer head) it was still as much fun if not more but the learning of all the new styles and tricks ala double thump, super triplets and on and on doesn't move me where as in the 70's I would have been one of the best at it! (hey wait that thumpin and poppin caught on? I can do the hell out of that!) I just want to play now and be a good bassist, monster chops is not important to me anymore.
