First bass, no more excuses..

Well my hand has been forced well and truly.. For the longest time I've build guitars for others but never got around to making one for myself.. The main reason I guess is that I'm a lefty and everything I've made so far is right handed..
Yesterday I had a knock on the door, it was the guy come to pick up the bass I made for him and he presented me this as a thanks..
I'm 67 and never learned to play, a bit daunting but hey so I'm told you're never to young to learn.. He said he'll throw in some lessons and another bassist I know said he'll help as well..
My days of thinking I'll be a rock star are well and truly gone but if I can pluck away and learn some basic stuff and not terrify the cat I'll be happy..
