Hi all, my name is Andrew, I'm 48 and took up learning the bass about 9 months ago. I had never played a musical instrument before I started (except for 5 mins with a bugel when in the Boys Brigade as a kid), but I think I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it.
At the moment I have no intention of ever being any more than a very amature bedroom bassist, but never say never. Probably just as wel, l as even though I may think I have a piece sorted, as soon as the other half walks in the room, it all goes horribly wrong.
I am currently using a Squier Mustang with an Ashdown Tourbus 15 (I think) amp. String wise I'm having a bit of fun experimenting with Rotosound 77s. But will probably go back to tapewounds. I had D'addario black nylons - loved the tone, but a bit to flexible for me (maybe just need to practice more).
Cheers
Andrew
