DeadPixels Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just dropping in to say hi 👋 Noob bass player (started learning about 6 months ago), after having little else to do during lockdown gave me the kick up the backside I needed to pick it up 😂 Mostly been learning through playing rocksmith (but if it works, it works, right? 🤷♂️) Already developed a bit of an addiction, with my original purchase, Yamaha RBX170 I still love now, Shine SB 35, dirt cheap 5 string 😂 and the most recent one, Marcus Miller Sire M2 that I love to bits! Already learned things about care and setting them up (just not the truss rod, still makes me nervous 😆) Looks like plenty more to read through and learn here while meeting more of you bass peeps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonunders Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Welcome. A good teacher can spot faults which you may develop if you self teach or watch videos. Enjoy the ride and start or join a band. I found it helped me improve my confidence and you get a real buzz playing live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
