Newbie to forum, slightly less so on bass

Hi everyone, I thought I would introduce myself -
My name is Faye - been playing guitar (6 string) for about 13 years , bass for about 6.

6 string and I never really hit it off.... almost on a whim I thought.... let's try bass and I really connect with it.

3 years experience in a local covers band - had to leave due to politics and lengthy drive to rehearsal

Also tried to get into an originals project - left due to creative differences. (the woman wanted to record with other musicians - so why am I showing up to practice?)

Tried getting an all girl 80s glam cover band off the ground.... 1 + year of waiting for a guitarist and drummer to show up.....

So took a break from playing and felt guilty for about 2 years until I recently got into a local covers bands, and am so happy to be playing again!

Hi from Minnesota!
