This reminds me of my favorite bass joke…
'My buddy is taking bass lessons. He told me “at my first lesson I learned how to play the note D, four times in a row! Then at my second lesson, I learned how to play the note A four times in a row!” I thought, that’s kinda cool… “what did you learn at your third lesson?” “… I couldn’t make it… I had a gig.”
Bass is very rewarding to learn even early on because it is true you can contribute in a meaningful way even starting out… That being said, don’t think it isn’t just as much work as any other instrument to get good at it. The B2B course does leave you very well prepared to contribute to a band by the time you are finished with it.
Good luck on your journey and welcome to the forum.

Hi skydvr! Sorry for the slow reply. I’m here in State College; having been teaching at Penn State since '93. Hometown is Toronto. I have two daughters who live in Philly: one in Fishtown and the other near Fitler Square. Hope '21 is already staking up to be better than '20!
Take care,
-Ken

Hi! I am a young musician who already plays bagpipes and Irish whistle. I recently picked up the bass and my first lesson was two days ago. I didn’t think I would be a “bass guy” a short while ago but I purchased a Sterling by Music Man Ray34 bass and I’ve fallen in love with in. I also like reading bb and chatting about interesting topics. As of Christmas I also own a uke-bass which I love. I made a demo and comparison video of it which I will be posting soon on the “What’s The Best Bass Ukulele?” thread. I am also trying to get the best noob of the month badge so please feel free to drop a like on my posts if you like them :).

That’s a great joke!
Yeah, I know it will be a long journey to become good and I realised that I’ll probably get bored if I’m not able to play more complex stuff and become creative. That’s why I thought this course might be a good starting point.
But it’s also nice to get some cool sounding music out of an instrument, even if it is just a few notes on repeat. Something quite meditative about it.

Hi Lester and everybody else who welcomed me here,
to be honest, I’d been toying with the idea of signing up for the course for a while, and when I discovered the forum and saw that I could actually interact with real nice people, that’s when I finally decided to go for it.

Hi guys
So here I am after loads of false starts and blind alleys. I started playing about a year ago after swapping from 6 strings … I just enjoy the rhythm and “building blocks” if music more than melody and soloing etc, so bass clicked with me more. I’ve tried a few different approaches to learning, and have had Josh on standby for ages, but new year new start and all that, so I’ve set myself the challenge of completing the beginner to badass in time for the pandemic to be under control so I can start playing with my brother and mates at our local open mic jams.
Nice to meet you all
Cheers
Matthew

Nice whistle and pipes @Glitch! Welcome here.
I’ve played on a Dixon dx006 and still on the lookout for a set of pipes.
Now get your bass playing some drones as well
