Best news I've heard since the election. Try not to throw your instruments around. Sometime in your life you may have one that's not replaceable and there may not be a great guy like Greg out there to bail you out. Spread the love through your music.

I took a pic last night but the memory card is not reading in my computer so I am going to have my brother take a pic with his phone and email me! I am at school right now though.

Here is a pic of me with the bass not really playing it though lol. Like my custom electrical tape stripes? lmfao. I love this freaking bass. My fingers and shoulders hurt because I have rarely put it down since getting it.

Seriously dude, congratulations. Play the heck out of that thing, and expand your musical consciousness all you can. This is probably my favorite thread I have ever read on this forum.

Alright!
I am so glad you like it and have been playing it so much.
That Jazz pickup really adds some bite to the mudbucker and you can blend in some nice tones.

Rock on Dude

I play it at the dinner table, my room its in my lap right now. My fret fingers are blistered. I have been playing alot with pick. I love this bass lol. Still talking to my parents about bass lessons. They are worried im going to lose interest. Everytime I listen to a song and hear part of a bass line, i try to match the sound, then go look up tabs to see if I was close. Love this freaking guitar

Lessons are great if you can find a good teacher.
If nothing else get that Hal Leondard bass method complete edition book I told you about. Most teachers teach out of that book and will require you to have it anyway.

Also on the Hal Leonard book does it teach only from sheet music style, because i cant read sheet music and other books I have seen only teach that way. I may pick up a copy of the one you told me about and their Nirvana bass tab book

It has tab and notation and a very good CD.
Ed Friedland did a great job on that book. He is a member here and contributes a lot in the general instruction and technique forums. You can ask questions that you have in them and plenty of knowledgeable TB'ers will gladly help explain it to you. He will even jump in and help.
