New guy saying hi

howdy folks! Just joined the other day, and just ordered my bass last night. I'm a clawhammer banjo player, as well as a guitarist (mostly country) who's recently been bit by the bass bug. I have a Dano longhorn coming soon and I'm pretty excited. This seems like a really great and knowledgeable group, and I hope not only to learn here but also to contribute.

Welcome! Lots to learn and read about here ... sometimes too much. Many of us often sacrifice productive practice time for TB time! Oh well, it's all about balance like everything else in life. Stick around and help us debate important topics like 'Does wood affect tone?' & 'What is the best ____ for metal?' See you around :thumbsup:
 
welcome to talkbass :) congrats - the dano longhorn is a fun bass with a short scale. you'll meet lots of players here who play other instruments as well as bass; i started out on fingerstyle guitar myself.

don't forget to post a NBD (new bass day) post with a pic when your danelectro shows up :)
