Old muso, new to bass.

Hi all. I played guitar in bands, mostly Blues and R&B, for 20 years then life changed as it does, and I sold all my gear and "retired". Now 20 years later I've got the bug again. Bought replacement guitar gear and started mucking around with some guys and realised we needed a bassist....so here I am, in my 60s, learning a new side of music and absolutely loving it. I'm in Australia so if I quote horrible prices for stuff I've bought...that's why...:D
 
Welcome to TB! Glad you're having fun with it, it's never too late to learn. I'm pushing 60 and there's so much more I want to study on the bass. And you'll find a number of fellow Aussies here.:)
