DorsetBlue Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi all, I started playing guitar again (failed as a teenager) about 2 years ago, when my kids started learning at school. About a year ago, I discovered the joy that is the bass guitar and started playing that too. I prefer the bass, it seems to work better for me (I used the play Brass when I was younger, so that 'might' have something to do with it). I think I am a much better Bass player after a year, than I am a Guitar player after two anyway. Anyway, hi. Ian Quote

Phil Starr Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome. I too started playing late in life because of my kids learning. Quote
Leen2112 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome Ian, According to customs when they intercepted my bass purchase from across the pond I play 'Brass' too.....idiots! Brass costs lots to import! So my advice is Guitar/bass fine, brass not fine. Enjoy the forum. Leen. Quote
oldslapper Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi Ian, nice to see another Dorset bassist around. John Quote
BassTractor Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hey Ian, Welcome to BC. Nice intro you wrote, and I guess some people will recognise aspects of this. Me, I just started on bass after a long life as d.i.c.k. (dick in charge of keyboards) (I believe it's actually Dork, but hey) Anyway, continue enjoying the thing, and don't be a stranger. BTW, you should hear Leen's band. Great brass arrangements. best, bert Quote

No not quite good enough yet I would think, although progressing nicely (on the bass anyway - still pants on the guitar). Quote
