    Taking The Plunge

    Played upright as a kid through early teen years....gave it up....but now I'm waiting to receive my first fretless bass (Squier), which is supposed to arrive today. Though I haven't touched a bass in years, my brain keeps singing bass lines to me...I know its a challenge to start anew but I'm...
