Denim Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hello. I'm called Denim. Well, that's my nickname, I'm actually Prasan. Hello ^_^; So erm... I've wanted to play bass for a very long time, but I've never had the money to afford one, let alone the gear to go with it. My cashflow may see a decent increase in the coming months and the image of my slightly overweight form jamming hard on a big bass guitar with swooning groupies throwing themselves at my feet is suddenly a possibility! Seriously though, I adore bass guitars, I love the feel of them, the sound, the power they wield. As instruments go I've never been a big guitar fan. It's always been a bass that I'm playing in my head I look forward to seeking the advice of the mystic gurus that govern this forum, buying my first bass and learning to play it poorly ^__________^ So erm... Rock on, Uzbekistan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively let the 6 string fragile ego do that and revel at being the foundation of a rythym section. Plus get a Rickenbacker. It is the only way. But I might be biased.

Denim Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I really was just kidding, guys ^_^ If I learn to play properly I'll probably only ever do it in private, to relax. I've held guitars before and they just don't feel the same as basses do. I can't really explain why, but I've seen guys at jazz festivals playing bass solos and they just blow me away with their skill and talent. I've, obviously, never going to be as good as they are, but I'd still love to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
