PLEASE DO NOT BE ASHAMED ABOUT YOUR BASS!!!
If you can get that tone, and slap it like that, it doesn’t matter what brand.
Is it a stingray copy? the body sort of looks like it. but I can’t be sure.

Hello Ladies & Gents, this is my ice breaker.
i recently took up the bass to be able to play all my favorite songs.
right from the get go i will hold up my hands and admitting i thought it would be easier than the 6 string - little did i know! - but am loving the challenge.
I have a gretsch short scale bass.
I also am an practitioner of Tae Kwon Do and Shotokan karate, when my job permits! I work for the MOD and love being at sea. so learning bass guitar helps me relax when i am off watch.
i enjoy most genres of music but my favorite style has to be country, have recently come under the spell of prog rock and heavy metal! anything from the 50’s to the turn of the century.
thats about it for me for now.

Welcome @tazette83. So, bass is harder then it sounds. Yeah, it is a good challenge.
So, did you used to play 6 string, or currently play 6 string, and you just now started learning bass, or are you new to both?
I used to play guitar, then took a 20 year break, when I came back to music, I wanted to pick up bass because I secretly always wanted to play bass, but ended up on guitar back in the day. I did expect it to be a challenge, because this time I wanted to do it right. i only learned what I needed to, in order to play the songs I wanted to play with my friends in our little band, and never got into the music side of things. With bass, I am all in, 100%. Started with scales, did @JoshFossgreen Beginner to Badass, have continued with scales courses, chord tones, sight reading, music theory, and still have many more courses to take. I also take private lessons via Zoom with Josh. It has been great. I get SOOOO much more out of playing bass with this approach then I ever did on guitar. I probably could have gotten way more out of it, had I been ready back then, but I had other interests in the way. Now my road is clear and I am driving along at a good pace, getting where I want to get when I want to get to it. or something like that.
Anyway, I am glad you found other versions of music, sorry to say, that country is not my cup of tea, but there is value to learning to play some of it, so I deal with it.
So welcome, glad you found us.
Can you tell us a bit about your bass, and maybe post some pics in the thread appropriately entitled “show us your bass”
