Thanks @jene ! I’ll actually be in Atlanta the first week of March for a work convention. Unfortunately, I won’t have my bass or much time to do anything not work related.

You had more fun than me there.
I built dairies and drank heavily.

Hi, just bought the course today after watching a few of josh’s free vids over the last few weeks. I’m a 55 yr old disabled dude stuck at home, and needed something to focus on to help with depression after losing my family this summer. I managed to pick up a bass and amp for $50, from another veteran I met at the local dispensary a couple of months ago to distract myself and have something to focus on for the future.
Last time I owned a bass back in college I didn’t get to lessons before I had to sell it off to help pay rent. It was a giant all natural wood peavy that I still miss to this day.
The bass I have now says Abilene on it, and with the lack of internet search results I’m assuming this is a super generic knock off of something real. I’ll post a pic if it lets me as I would love to get feedback and see what you guys think of it.
I added some GLS cables from amazon along with a Kliq distortion pedal; gotta get loud and wild to get that adrenaline pumping! 
Next piece I’m looking for is a used Fender rumble 100, hopefully around the price of a new rumble 40. The Tool sticker came preloaded at no extra cost. The bass was almost unused, and new enough there are still bits of the protective plastic ‘peel off layer’ around the knobs and thumb rest. So for the price and newish state, it sure feels like a good deal.
I plan to be a nuisance on here until I get to the badass jedi level of player, so I hope to get to know a bunch of you and find ways to share and interact on this journey. I have no skills yet, but I come preloaded with a bunch of creative ideas that I can’t wait to try out and hopefully find others of you on here, with ideas of collaborating on some covers or other fun gags .
(hopefully my kit picture uploads, so far it’s looking like a link with no image)
P.S. any shortcut nickname is fine, Lava, lem, dude, bro, whatever.

Welcome @LavaLemming ! That’s a fine rig to start with. I started with the 89 dollar no name Amazon model, myself. You’ll get gas soon enough. Please enjoy the course and keep us updated on your progress!
