Hello, Kasper from Finland here.
I’m 40 years old guy with no musical backround. I always wanted to play some instrument, but never started any. About a month ago I was watching random stuff on youtube and found a Davie504 video. I had to show it to my oldest son (11 years old) and we watched “few” more videos. One week later I ordered two basses. One for me and one for my son. So, now we are both learning to play bass.

Super cool @Kassu! What a fun journey you’re gonna have! He’s going to be a smokin’ bass player at 13 or 14, and his Dad is going to be slappin’ it too lol!

Welcome to the fold @Kassu. It’s great that you’re learning bass with your son. I’m still waiting for my son’s interest to spark. He’s only 7 but he see’s me playing everyday so I’m hopeful. Believe it or not, I had never heard of Davie504 so I went and watched some of his videos due to you mentioning him. WOW, that guy is a paradox… He’s so expressionless but such a great player and lot’s of fun. Enjoy the course and enjoy the forum.

Hello, everyone! I’m Denny and it’s finally time I learned to play bass. I grew up in a musical family and somehow never could grasp guitar. I went the sax route and was decent 30+ years ago, but it’s been a minute since I did anything other than sing or the occasional handbell choir performance. I’m 50 and just began learning from the YouTube channel videos, though I am going to get the lesson series after Christmas. Josh is GREAT! I’ve already picked up so much that I couldn’t seem to digest when my dad tried to teach me. I love the teaching style.
I don’t know the details about it yet, but I just inherited a bass that belonged to a long-time family friend. All I know is that it is a Gibson Hollow-Body from the 60’s (I think). I’ll get it on the show us your bass thread soon. Once I make sure this is going to stick, I will be looking for another that doesn’t have quite the sentimental value and can take more wear and tear. Nice to meet all of you!
