I have wanted to practice reading sheet music for a long time but every time I sit down to do so I cannot bring myself to go any further with it.

Now excuse me while I rant about a bass I never got So I was visiting some friends a few months ago with my family and at one point I got bored and was browsing on Reverb.com. Then I saw a Yamaha RBXJM bass which looked really really good. It was turquoise and had gold-looking hardware. It was...

Yes, it does clarify things. I like it here

I just thought that some people would walk away from the thread by not understanding what's going on
