New guy here

[Jeff B]

Hey everyone. I just joined the site. I don't play now, but I am looking to buy my first bass. My older brother is a drummer and I always wanted to play the bass. When I was a kid, my parents didn't want to get me a bass, so they got me a clarinet. That didn't last too long.

I am now 32 and finally decided to get one and learn to play. I'm looking forward to getting some good advice here. Seems to be a pretty good forum.

Welcome Jeff. Plenty of good advice and very knowledgeable bass players here to help you out. It's been invaluable to me.

Surprise, surprise. No knock on your parents; I'm a rank amateur father of 3 myself. It just strikes me as a pretty funny statement. Welcome to TB, somewhat-late bloomer.
