Excited about starting bass----from KY

Hi all!

I've been playing guitar for roughly 5 years (I'm 22 now) and I am now wanting to play bass.


I have two friends (guitar players) who want to start playing music and I decided to make a switch to bass. We all enjoy progressive rock, and all types of metal.

My biggest musical influences right now are:

Radiohead
Parkway Drive
Between the Buried and Me
Queen
Paul McCartney

I'm thinking about a 5 string spector as my first bass.:bassist:
