Hi, I’m Mac from Melbourne, Australia.
Mid 50’s!!!
Bought my first bass ( an outlaw Gibson)a couple of years ago on a whim but just stuck it in a corner gathering dust.
After the death of Lemmy Kilminster of Motörhead I always promised to teach myself bass guitar and after trawling YouTube trying to learn from videos there I decided to bite the bullet and do it properly.
Since then I have bought a bass kit from Pitbull Guitars and a few nights ago “accidentally “ pressed the buy it now button on a Fender copy on eBay (whoops lol)
Looking forward to starting my learning journey while off work after a workplace accident

Welcome to BassBuzz!
That Tagima is supposed to be really good. Much better than what they charge. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on one but there aren’t too many in the US.

Who would win a fight between Lemmy and God?
Welcome @Mac. Lots of basskateers from down under logging on in the past few days. Nice.
Who can answer that question correctly?

Hey, I know another quadfather in a different forum. Are you a powerlifter by chance?

@rae_kristine No, I don’t powerlift - my nickname is from aaaaaages ago when I used to play quake 1 online. Blimey, that’s going back a bit. The name just kinda stuck over the years

When I’m not working (or now, learning bass), I’m a powerlifter, coach, and referee. But that’s all on hold right now of course so the bass has been my savior.

Welcome to all the many new members who joined recently!
And, perhaps an extra warm welcome to @Courtney_Vtown - we could use some more prog fans in here (as @peterhuppertz also hinted to) 
And… we need a Chapman Stick player, for sure! I still remember how floored I was when I first heard KC’s Discipline album (way back when…).

Hello,
I just started the course.
I played the Bass guitar for three years in a Blues-Rock band with some friends from school during my teenage period in the late sixties (none of us had any formal musical education and we barely knew a few accords) I better say that I was the band’s member holding a bass guitar and producing background noise. But life took me in a completely different direction than playing the bass guitar. Today I play some fingerstyle on an acoustic six-string guitar.
Two weeks ago I decided to go back to play what I like the best: bass guitar. This time as a bedroom player. Many consider the bass guitar as a “band instrument” but I personally enjoy playing it alone, holding it, fretting and plucking the strings, and hearing its sound and playing with the backing tracks of songs. I continue to play and learn the acoustic but I still prefer the feeling of holding and playing and listening to the bass.
Several days ago I purchased a short-scale Fender Mustang PJ (Mexican made) and also a VOX amplung 2 Bass to serve me until I save enough for a small quality amp.
The course is fantastic. I guess that because I already play some basic fingerstyle on my six-string acoustic guitar, it has been a bit easy for me until module 6. But even so, an early lesson like the 3rd lesson of module 1 helped me correct a bad self-taught habit from the past: not to pull the string up and away but to pluck across. Very excited to be here.
