New to TB. Also From Wisconsin. Started guitar in '75. Bout ten years ago had some hand damage. Sold all my stuff (discouraged). Since about five years ago I started collecting. Among other things, I bought a Dreadnaught type Ibanez acoustic/electric bass and a Yamaha electric...to try to get my fingers back. This is fun! I suppose if I were to assign a favorite bass player, it would be Chris Squire from Yes.
P.S. I have always been my only instructor. Most recently I bought a 76 Key keyboard. This sort of made her angry, and I didn't want to do that again, so I bought a 5 piece Pearl drum set.
