Just wondering what everyone thinks of this bass guitar. Spotted it in a pawnshop 2 days ago(could be gone by now), but just thought it was a beautiful looking guitar and kinda can't get it out of my mind. I think they had it priced at either $250 or $230....not really sure. It was in great...

Meant to reply to this, but don't think i did. Love the story......that was pretty funny and i completely imagine that i would be the same exact way currently attempting to play by ear. I will keep all your suggestions in mind. I don't think i have interest in learning absolutely everything...

I just looked it up on Amazon and they have a book of easy bass songs that is supposed to supplement the Hal Leonard Method books that I've ordered(so no tab in there since it's designed to go along with the method books) I read one comment that says that the booked help him because the method...

That's a great idea.......i'll have to look for easy versions of some songs just using regular music notation. As far as what kind of music i like......that's a good question. I find myself drawn to the things that i recognize from when i was younger so it could be anything from Pink Floyd to...

I meant to ask this same question after i read his response. Thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks for the correction.......like i said i'm not familiar with all the terms so i didn't know "Full Tab" from "Tab" from whatever other versions of tab there are, but it is still a hybrid of the two correct?? It seems like Full Tab probably came about originally from someone who saw the...

Oh yeah.....I have used that before, but it's been a while. Thanks for refreshing my memory. OH.....and you are probably correct that I will already know everything that was suggested in the replies by the time this gets taken down. Thanks for the reply.

I do have one question for everyone around here. So.....i do love and appreciate all replies that I've gotten. This is apparently a pretty accepting community that just wants to help out in whatever way they can. I was super worried that i was going to get a verbal beating for saying that i...

Thanks for your reply. I have the Hal Leonard books coming tomorrow or the next day. It's going to be interesting for sure. Not sure how this little journey into understanding more in depth how to play is going to work out, but for me personally even if stick with theory and then only use the...

Thanks for your reply. It love all the feedback that I'm getting from this post. I thought it would be like crickets after putting up my initial post, but it's been the complete opposite. I did order both books and the method one will be here either tomorrow or Wednesday so that'll be the...

I only own 2 bass tab books, but they do show rhythm in them. The one is a hybrid system of notation that has what looks like tab, but has the stems for the actual music notation right below the numbers that tell you which fret to play on and it has all the symbols and terms to for regular...

Hey.....just wanted to thank you for your reply. I somehow missed your post(i've gotten a decent amount of feedback which I'm pretty thrilled about)until now, but I kinda did what you were suggesting for the first time yesterday before i saw your post. So....I've been trying to learn the song...

Thanks to everyone and their replies.......I ordered both books just a little bit ago so my journey towards not only understanding the instrument better, but also just music in general is about to begin. I hope I'm ready. I'm kinda excited.....for the first time in my life earlier today I...

Thanks for your reply and the link about music theory. I am leaning towards the music theory book for the bass, but after reading your comment maybe I'll get both book so that i have both method and theory. I'm still going to mix in song playing since I know myself and if it learning the note...
