Many thanks to all for your words of encouragement, advice and welcome.

Hi All, I have only just started to learn bass(6 weeks ago), I am 70 years young and the have arthritis in both hands,which is why i gave up on six string guitar as my fingers cant make the chords also due to a bike accident my left wrist has limited movement. I am very pleased at what i can play so far but find that i have to improvise a lot and cannot get a lot of shapes required, I dont want to play in a band, just maybe jam with mates who both play guitars. Do you think i should push on or give up.
