My advice would be to take it to the local music store and get it set up.

As for learning to play, there are some awesome resources online. Try YouTube and www.studybass.com to start with.

Enjoy :)
 
My '77 Alembic Series 1 with flamed purple heart top and back.

And when is the last time you saw one of these? That's right! 1991, the only year they were made in extremely limited numbers! It's a semi-hollow Warwick Corvette/Streamer, affectionately known as an "Infinette". I've had this one (#49) since 1998. It belonged to Bill Kaman of Ovation Guitars. A true beauty and probably the sweetest neck of any bass I've owned.

Mine is a 2000 Infinity LTD in birdseye....The Mark King is a 1998 that I sent back to the factory for triple heart omega cuts and refin back in 2002...the top is Walnut Burl.

The ingeniuity of this bass just elicits awe... the only caveat might be that you ought to look out for the tin can lid edges when you play... I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks - it was a blast to build. I rounded off any truly sharp edges, so there have been no accidental stabbings or other mishaps ! I need to pot the pickup though....it likes to "take off", so I can only use the bass on quieter gigs currently.
