Introduction

[Bobby T]

Hi, I am Bobby.  60yo at this posting.  I picked up bass as a hobby about 4 or 5 years ago.  And I am loving it.  Nothing like the feel and the sound of bass.  Played Tuba in band, so when I had to choose guitar or bass, hey.

 

I have never gigged or played with anyone.  I need to.  I am at that level I can follow a chord progression, know my triads and pentatonic scales, know the fretboard pretty well, have pretty good rhythm.  I just need to jam with some folks.

 

I don't have anything expensive, Schecter Silhouette Extreme-4 and an Ibanez SR505E.  I use a Fender Rumble 100 to practice.  I play most every day.

 

I have a few songs under my fingers for the most part, Don't Stop Believing (why I started playing), Have you ever seen the rain, Burning for you.  But I like jamming to backing tracks mostly.

Hi we have quite a few US members @jd56hawk @Bluewine @StickyDBRmf spring to mind

 

do you have an equivalent of Open Mic nights? That’s where I found people to play with, and bass players are quite rare so no shortage of people offering collaboration

Exactly.

Always a good crowd at open-mic nights.

Hi Bobby, I have exactly the same amp - great choice!  ... even has enough power to hold its own in band sessions / gigs
