Hi All
I am also new in fact I joined minutes ago. I have always enjoyed bass lines in music and my favourite player is Norman Watt-Roy. I intend to get my first bass guitar by/for Christmas and will be an absolute beginner! At 42 next birthday I have not received much encouragement but you have to go for things and enjoy life. Bought my 6 year old son a quarter accoustic and the shop keeper told me that only already accompished musicians can play bass. However, went to see a live cover band on Saturday night and talking to their bass player afterwards he said to just get hold of one and go for it - he also had no other experience previously but was probably 20 years younger.
I'd appreciate any help and advice. My first question to the forum is;
Should my first bass guitar be a 4, 5 or 6 string? Is it easy to adapt later on and progress to more strings?
Regards
