Hi,
I have been a member here for over a year but I am now actually going to learn to play bass myself. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.  My friend is giving me his Schecter, and I am looking for a little practice amp.
ANyway, just wondered which forum is best for posting really newbie questions so I won't get yelled at. I play flute and used to play drums, so I am not new to music per se.
my friend (ex-lover) is a member here and a fab bass player who just won't believe how good he is. ANyway, I can't wait to get my own rig and start playing. I played some riff's at the local music store and it was such a holy rush!!
ok thanks and please point me to the correct place to be.   thanks

as far as where to ask.... rig questions are best asked in "Amps". Technique in "General Instruction".... when in doubt and it's music related.... "Misc". |

He's a great player, great teacher and a really nice guy (he hangs around the bass forums of the net some). |

"Misc". | Well, to be entirely fair, technique questions should probably be put in the "Technique" forum. General Instruction is for things like theory, reading music, instructional materials, Aebersold books, etc.
Have a blast dude, it's a great thing to take up.

Another hockey fan I see. The strike has really killed a lot of my seasonal fun since I attend Kings' games regularly but my bass playing is getting better since I spend more time practicing without the games to distract me. 
Not many hockey fans here in L.A. so it seems like an oddity when you find one. If you're near Los Angeles and are interested in jamming sometime, let me know.

| OOOOOOOOO I hate to disappoint you guys, but I am a WOMAN not a dude!! Hope that doesn't black-ball me right off. And to make it worse, I am not a young one, I am a young, hot 40 + one.
Yea I am bummed to no end about the hockey season, glad to hear your playing is revved because of it. I am closer to Sharks country, but was born in LA. I live in a small town in the Sierras so the closest game was 3 hours away- but hey- we are getting a AHL team in Stockton!!
Thanks again for the tips. I have been to the "techniques" forum already and looked around.
see yassssssss

Hehehehe I am not telling you who is is, he was a semi- regular in here but he hasn't been in since August of last year according to his profile.. ya my name is in my profile I think but I prob signed a post somewhere with it.
I never told him I was registered here cuz he might've thought that was weird or stalking him or something.. he gets a bit suspicious of others at times.
I just love the bass and bass music, the whole low end, sooooo much that I decided it was time for me to stop lurking and step up to the plate- or the mic!
When I get out of school at the end of the month I am going to get me that little practice amp and the Schecter he said I could have and start on it.
He won't help me learn though and he won't tell me why.
sighs.. otherwise we get along ok as friends..  this is him >>>  all the time. ANYWAY.. on to happier things!!!
LET'S ROCK!!!
and no, I don't know Stew-- but why would you move BACK to LA? eck, I was raised there!

I'm hoping to get some work as a player, do some teaching, and possibly start studying with some of my favorite players, too.
if I start gigging around L.A. I'll let you know and you cab come see my huge silly basses!

Well I would love to Stew, but I live 600 miles north of LA.
I am in a small town in the Sierras.
have a great time there though, and don't breathe too deeply.
cheers!!
