Hi there,

My name's Bruno and I know nothing about bass guitar.

I picked one up last summer and have been playing with it since then, with mixed success. I mean I can play it sufficiently well, but I don't know how to 'take care' of the instrument itself and how to tweak it.

Basically I'm in a duo where the other guy sings and plays guitar (which I also play) and we also sometimes play drums, synthesizers and laptops.

I'm primarlly an electronic music composer, but for the purpose of playing live shows I chose to play bass - we still do a bit of switching around, but for the bulk of the show, it seemed logical for me to play bass.

I hope to learn more about (guitar) bass on this forum..

I play an Ibanez Soundgear 5-string bass through an SWR LA-15 combo. It's sufficient for me.

That's about it.
