RavHale Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Hi all, I'm new to bass, I've been playing 6 string (started classical to acoustic) for over 20 years, and recently, our band needed a bass player so I jumped onto bass about a year ago, and wished I'd done it sooner, I bloody love it! so thought it would be good to mingle with like minded people, who can maybe share tips, exercises, fun bass lines to play and so i can develop my knowledge further. I currently ( not entirely clued up on spec) have a Hooker customs (custom) bass which I LOVE and an semi-acoustic Harley Benton. My Hooker is smooth and dirty at the same time, I love her , I have a real eclectic taste in music, from EVERY genre of rock, preferably anything pre-2000s but I'm not discriminative to any style of rock and metal. I also love blues of any styles and folk, for me have more of a progressive bass line so more fun to play, I basically love music especially now, the ones that have a good bassline! so would love to be able to develop my bass skills as an all rounder, and just enjoy it! I like to chose songs in the band that are fun to play, (although singing and playing at the same time can be a challenge lol) but would love to be able to disucss all things bass and music with other like minded people.

msb Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Welcome Rav! Funny how we all come to the instrument. I was asked to audition for a touring band , turned out that I was the only one at the audition and got the part. Been at it ever since.
