Hello
I have a Warwick Fortress Bass. At the moment i have a Marshall amp, but is a guitar amp, so will get a bass amp in due course. I have had a Bass for around 3-4 weeks, with no knowledge of how to play it, or any instrument whatsoever. I took my first lesson about 3 weeks ago, and had my second yesterday.I am currently learning the Pentatonic minor and major scales. the Arpeggios scales, and i am learning to read music.So far i am learning G,A.B,C,F, and E chords.I have a long way to go to call myself a Bass player, but i may make it one day.
The reason i took up the Bass ( beside the reason i have always wanted to play some instument), is because i have arthiritis in my hand, so am hoping it will improve the mobility of my fingers.It has improved in the last week or so, so i am hopeful.
Oh, i forgot. My favourite Bass players would be John Entwhistle, Flea, and Stuart Zender, Roger Glover, and bruce foxton, amongst others
