Hello - New Bass Player...

Hello, I just brought my first bass just over a month ago now. I've been learning to play it a bit, although I've not played it as much recently.

I'm 16 years old, from North London. I don't know much about the bass so I'll look to learn more in the near future!

I've got a Playmate Edge 09 Bass & a little 15 watt Fender rumble amp.

I don't really like playing with my fingers much, right now I like playing with the plec (probably because it's easier)

My main influence from a bass player is Adam Clayton of U2, has some incredibly simple yet effective bass-lines. Oh yeah, U2 are by far my favorite band :bassist:
