    My instructor has me warm up with 5th to 9th fret routines and my top 2 fingers straightened out in short order -- it'll be amazing when you see how responsive your fingers can be....

    My instructor says that by 6 months I'll be jamming with a band. I'm not so sure I need a band to feel as much enjoyment as I've gained so far--- AMAZING so far ~~Rae

    Okay, so I found a full scale bass that fits my hands -- I'm hoping it's not actually too soon to add to my arsenal cuz I LOOOOOOOOOVE the natural wood Schecter Stiletto Series and it's got amazing sound for still being small enough to get my hands around.... now I know why y'all said this...

    Fourth lesson this week -- learned one song and I'm developing a good selection of scales and exercises --- turns out I have a weak pinky -- my top sounds suffer so I'm working on a proscribed list of scales that involve really strengthening it --- I'm hoping it helps cuz I'm loving all the...

    I had my first lesson, and now have my first homework. I was told to not practice the scale he assigned me for more than 7 minutes, and thought that was really ODD, but after 2 days, my arms really do feel the burn, so I'm glad I was warned. I came home from my first lesson higher than...

    I actually enjoy it --- I'm Project Team and get to spend the Winter season volunteering with whichever store which needs me... awesome fun. The rest of the year, I'm traveling across the country doing new store openings and remodel jobs. Great Fun!! Rae

    It's in a town called Richfield. From what I've read since then, it's a bit of a copy on a small format Guitar Center. It's a store within a store, meaning that you actually enter a real Best Buy store and go to the back left hand corner where it takes up a few hundred square feet. It does...

    I work for Best Buy, opening new stores around the nation. I had the opportunity to visit the new BBY music store they opened recently in Minnesota and reached out and TOUCHED a bass --- wanted it immediately, but opted to not purhase it that abruptly. I came home, did my homework, chose my...

    Ohhh I know I'm spending plenty of "Potential Money" --- Guitar Center overestimated me. LOL. Thanks for the welcome

    I'm possibly a bit premature in my membership here. I joined the same day I ordered my first Bass. I have never even read Bass Cleff music before and now that I've received my beautiful/shiny/innocent bass guitar (10 hours ago), I have learned page one of the manual so I know the names of the...

    New Members: How did you find TalkBass?

    I was on the verge of informing my hubby that he was PRIVILEGED to support me in my interest to take up Bass -- knowing that it would be an uphill battle to crack open his wallet, I researched on Google for months. I won, he submitted and I joined the forum at the same time. My first bass...
