Hello, TalkBass! I've lurked in the shadows for a while but am coming out to interact at last! 
I'm originally a guitar player but decided to take up bass about a year ago, and I have fallen hard for the instrument. I'm far from a master, but I think I moved up to the "mediocre" level pretty quickly due to my prior musical training and experience. I actually found my way into a very talented band recently...still not sure how I managed that. Anyway, I've got an Ibanez GSR series bass which I'm looking to move up from--I love the thing but it's not going to work forever, especially in a band setting! There's a very interesting-looking Hagstrom HB4 sitting in a local music store that I've yet to try...I love strange basses/guitars (my main six-string [plain ol' guitar] is a Brian May Signature, for instance). Maybe I'll get some opinions on that one here, too...? Oh, yes, and my rather unoriginal choice for Personal Bass God is none other than John Entwistle of the 'Orrible 'Oo.
That's all for now! Hope to talk to you all soon!
