Hello, My name is John. I'm from SoCal. Not really new to playing music as I've played drums for about, well lets just say, a long time. I also piddled around with bass when I was about 12. The 73 Fender Musicmaster I show in my profile was given to me by my parents at that time. Then I collected a couple more basses,etc. over the years and it seems now I really have the desire to get serious and study/play. Any fellow NAMMers out there? I'm sure quite a few. Been doin Namm since 1990. I'll be there all 4 days. Look foward to all this board has to offer.
