I haven't touched a musical instrument since I played baritone horn in high school (1985). A business associate got me interested in the bass guitar. Now I'm re-learning music (never really knew it, mostly played by ear and couldn't read bass cleff.) I purchased a Fender Player Precision Bass and now I'm on my way. Love this forum. I just hope I don't bug people too much with noob questions.

My second bass is a Samick Greg Bennett AB2. My question is: What strings do you folks recommend for backup? (I'd like to get my hands on a set or two just in case of a SHTF scenario where supply lines are interrupted.) Thanks!

I'm new here too. Same age. It is awesome to see a lot of " experienced" people picking up the bass. I now understand the phrase "youth is wasted on the young" Now that I look back. I started playing a little over 1 covid year ago.
Best of luck to you!
