petecarlton Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi all! I started playing bass for the first time at the age of 67 back in October. After a (brief) flirtation with a Gear4Music Electro-Acoustic (which, I have to say, was inspirational), I now have a Sterling Stingray SUB 4, of which I am inordinately fond. It's Mint Green and the most bling-y thing I own. I love it very much and I am having such a ball learning something new in my dotage 😉 Big up to my teacher Chris Pidgeon - total confidence, much respect! And to Ed at Nottingham Drum and guitar Centre for his patience. That's it! Pete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Welcome! It's so important to start with a bass you're in love with. If you're anything like me, there will be times when you'd give up if you had a boring "beginner's bass", but she won't let you. Very best wishes, and please let us know how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's just got taste? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
