Long time reader, first time poster

Hey everybody,

Been reading posts on this board for quite some time, figured it was about time I actually say hello. So, "hello!"

In particular - quite grateful for the classic Ed Fuqua "how to really learn a tune" thread which I'm still getting mileage out of today!

Hybrid jazz and rock & roll guy. Haven't touched my upright in a couple years due to a shoulder injury but still manage to torture myself with how bad my intonation is on an Ibanez fretless that has a 24-fret range so I can still kinda pretend like I'm playing the big doghouse (plus I can get away with practicing it without disturbing my husband!).

Hope everyone is doing well during this chilly winter!
Cheers.

Hello 👋

Same here, landed here many times when googling something, but finally registered today.
Relatively new, have been “playing with the bass” for many years but never seriously, until about a year ago I decided to really practice every day, and have stuck to it. Enjoying the journey.
