I’ve made no secret as to how much I enjoyed it.
Have you ever been to Russia?

There has been a lot of talk about what to do when you’ve completed Beginner to BadAss. You put out this video, Are You an Intermediate Bass Player? (Here’s How to Know), which acts as a sort of guide for that.

Assuming no specific goals, other than becoming a better bass player, is there one thing in particular you would recommend focusing on?

It’s not a question of whether it grips it with roundwounds or flatwounds, mate. It’s a question of weight ratios…

That said, here’s my question: of all the lessons and advice in the B2B course, what do you consider to be the most important to a new bassist?

Honestly, I’m sure @JoshFossgreen will have a better, more informative answer (well… duh?!), but mine would be:
Stop making excuses, and just start learning. Took me 47 years.

My answer…the last one of the course, means you finished and are well on your way.
