I just started taking bass lessons a few weeks ago and decided to join TB today. I first purchased an Ibanez bass starter pack in 2008 but life got in the way, until recently. I purchased another bass, Ibanez Mikro, due to the fact I have small hands and found a local music store that began offering bass lessons last month. I hope everyone here treats me here with kindness due to the fact that I am still a beginner.
