Thank you. Frankly, I'm so bad that I can't even tell when my beats are off unless I'm playing against something else. Usually for me, I plug Guitar Pro into my VOX, which lets me hear everything together without using an amp (Makes life a lot easier for me, as I share an apartment with 3 or 4...

I have never been good with music. I have had a lot of experience with it though. I have tried my hands at piano, violin, viola, guitar, and a lot of voice lessons. (I slowly move down the key until I finally hit the bass recently) The one thing that I could never do is keeping the beat. But...

I have a rather silly question--when you say your first bass, do you mean that you've never played a bass before? The reason I'm asking is because I was in the same boat about 2 months ago. I decided to go with just a starter kit because it's so much cheaper, and I wasn't even sure that I'm...

First of all, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. I've tried the search function too, but nothing that I think fits my question came up. Anyway, I just started out playing bass guitar. My weapon of choice is an el cheapo (probably Chinese made) brandless bass starter set that I got off...
