New bass...gotta tell someone

[Locutuz]

Hello everyone this is my first post here.

I am a 45 year old newbie to bass playing. Been taking lessons 2 months and still pretty much suck at it (but I will prevail). I always wanted to play bass but never seemed to have the time to get started. My wife passed away right before Christmas this past year so I decided to start taking lessons. I am currently playing a Carlo Robelli Bass, but hey.
You can't just have one bass. I had been looking at a used Peavey Fury bass at my local music store the price tag said $219. But tonight I scored me a new bass on eBay. Looked like a good deal to me. Ibanez BTB300BG. Hope I made a good choice for my second bass

Oh...and I would also like to thank the forum for all the information and knowledge I have picked up so far.

Congrats on the new bass and welcome to TB.

Unfortunately, your link appears to be broken and you probably already know the rule: If we don't get pics, it doesn't really exist

Thanks for the welcome.
If the link doesnt work for you the eBay Item # is 3715859192 if that helps.
Pictures when I get my new bass.

Best of luck playing and really sorry to hear about your wife. Bass is a wonderful friend. It has helped me keep my head straight for almost thirty years.

Welcome to TB (the link works fine to me), and sorry about your wife. Hopefully you´ll find in your bass playing and in Talk Bass a new family.

sup dude, congratulations on the new bass.

The compulsion to tell everybody about a new bass is almost like confession, but in a good way. The BTB is a good choice; one of Ibanez's better basses, methinks. The Fury sounds a little overpriced for a used bass. Stick with the BTB.

congrats on the new bass, those are very nice. the BTB is my favorite of the newer ibanez models. you got it for a real nice price too.

welcome to the wonderful world of bass playing! i hope you have a blast with it like most of us have.

my great uncle decided to start playing the bass at the age of 65. he now has a squier p-bass, and an upright bass. unfortunately the man is not that computer savy or i'd have him on this site!

congrats on the instrument and sorry about your loss. playing bass has gotten me through many rough times. nowhere near your situation but i'm sure it will help.

Welcome to TalkBass.
Sorry about your wife, that is horrible news.
The new bass is a beut, and you contracted G.A.S. after 2 months... what took you so long!
