I'd say a C, I was in band for 7 years and always played bass clef instruments so I had a good foundation when I picked up bass. That said I was never that great when I was in band, I never did learn how to count properly until about two years ago and its an uphill battle for me now.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but off topic didn't seem right either. Anyways my highschool has a program for seniors known as Independent Student Mentorship where we pick a mentor and study under them for the year to get an idea of what our possible future career...

(quote from her myspace) " really enjoy really bony parts of body’s such as collar bones, hipbones, spines, ribcages ect. " Are you really sure about that?

BTB 4550 or BTB 1205 Prestige.

Mine's no big deal but why not? I started out playing tromboneback when I was 12. A year of that with no progress so I was switched to tuba. A whole other story, my first time on the bottom end didn't feel like the first time it felt like something I'd always done, natural, I loved it. Moving on...

At last someone explains it in a way I can understand, along with modes to boot, thanks guys.:)
