bethnalgreen Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hello all, I'm 50 now and started playing bass ten years ago when I was taking my son to guitar lessons. I'd never played a musical instrument before, and his teacher taught guitar, bass, and drums. I needed something to challenge me in middle age so bass seemed the easiest and quietest option! It was a terrific introduction as he taught me to read bass clef but I soon got lazy and moved to tab - I wish I'd stuck it out! I play with a couple of covers bands in and around Enfield / Hertfordshire, doing the usual standards with some Coldplay, Travis, Killers and similar thrown in. I mainly use my Jazz but have a P-Bass as a backup, going through an Ashdown C410T-300 combi. Looking forward to taking part in the forums!

ZMech Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 let me guess, north london music centre? I started off taking lessons there, but like you gave up when it got to learning reading bass clef. If you hadn't guessed I also live in enfield (southgate to be specific). Welcome to the forum, there's a rediculous amount of knowledge in these pages, so good luck taking it all in!
