To Bass or Not to Bass

...that is the question.

Hello everyone! My name is Pat. I'm returning to bass playing after a several year abscence. Drums was the primary isturment of my mis-spent youth, but had an interest in bass and the role it plays in a band. A friend encouraged me to give it a try back in the ancient '90s which led to primarily playing in church up until the mid-2000s. I'm interested in picking it up again for recording some ambient/post-rock type of songs. Anyway glad to be here.
 
Welcome back to the bass. I too picked it back up a couple years ago, after 25 year hiatus, and was very pleased with all the instructional material available now on YouTube and similar channels via the net. Many links and pointers available on the instructional forum here on TB too. Enjoy!
