Hey! I'm Traci James, but everyone calls me T.J.
I'm awful at filling these things out, so I'll give some cliff notes on my musical history. I played the guitar for about a decade before completely switching to bass about 5 months ago. Through the years I had done a bunch of filling in on bass jamming with friends, until a few months ago when I was asked to play bass in my friend's band full time. Once I sat down and actually played the instrument I learned that I enjoy it more than I ever did guitar, it felt more natural.
That's a little about myself. I'm here to learn, and I'm hoping to pick some brains!
Cheers!
