Hi from a former guitar player.

[Metropolis1]

Hello everyone !
I have been playing guitar in small bands for the past 30 years (I'm 46).
Never been the best player but it was a lot of fun.
My last band fell apart about 3 years ago and the last thing I wanted was to find another band and play guitar.
After a while without playing any music, I accidentally grabbed a cheap bass I had since 15 years and never really played.
I liked the feeling and started to watch some cool videos on Youtube and the idea to become a bass player came to me.
I play bass for 18 months now and it's the best thing ever. I'm like a kid everytime I play, I have so much to learn.
My experience as a guitar player is a lot of help, but I don't want to sound like a guitarist playing bass so I focus on fingerstyle for now.

My goal is to be the bass player the next time I'll be in a band.

Welcome to the deep end.

It seems like you’re enjoying playing bass and that’s what it’s all about really.

What does a band want the bass to do? Normally it is to lock with the drummer's kick drum, play chord tones and not step on anyone's toes.

Have fun.
