Welcome in @Aye_MVRCK !!! It’s good to have you here.

Thanks for creating this awesome site Josh… your free lessons and reviews are incredibly helpful, well done.

Call me CC (that’s my cat in the avatar). I’m a 61yo engineer, athlete, woodworker, pilot, artist, photographer, adventurer… and frustrated musician. I’ve attempted trombone (7th grade), sax (8th grade), piano (11th), guitar (age 44 - present). Music remains the one thing I’ve really wanted to excel at that I haven’t, yet :-).

I bought my daughter a used Ibanez EDC-700 and a BA110 several years ago. Honestly not sure how many miles she’s put on that rig, I think not many. I loved to noodle around on it when she wasn’t looking :-). She spirited it off to her new digs back in November.

I decided to make learning the bass my New Year’s resolution of sorts. My goal is to be playing in an ensemble by year’s end. I already know way more theory than I need, I already know the neck. I will concentrate on rhythm & groove.

I picked up an SR300e and a Rumble 40 v3 just after New Year’s. Nice kit, makes me want to stop and play. I’m a probable BB subscriber, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Pull the trigger on BB @CoolCat, you won’t regret it. I’ve spent money on a fair amount of bass stuff I don’t need and sort of regret, and really need to sell off - but the BB course was 100% worth every penny.

And welcome!

Welcome, @CoolCat. Have no hesitation or trepidation: Sign up for B2B. The first few lessons cover fundamentals and might be a walk in the park for you, but the following lessons are designed to teach a variety of fingering and plucking dexterity techniques, each presented in a tune from different genres and eras. Plus, it’s all just damn fun. It is the most valuable and worthwhile bit of bass-related spend you’ll ever make. Enjoy!

Great to have you here @CoolCat

P.S. I concur with the others about doing the B2B course. I love it and I’m thoroughly impressed with Josh’s teaching.

Welcome @CoolCat
I can honestly say that the money spent on the B2B course was some of the best I have invested in my bass journey. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed

Hi there,

I am glad to have found here to BassBuzz, this lovely forum, and you. I am a Mathematics and Physics student aiming to become a teacher at a high school, fascinating students for the beauty of life. I work as a technical assistant in ophthalmology, helping my doctor with all my spirit to help people let them see the beauty of life (again).
Electric Bass has found my heart. Playing it feels like hearing and sensing the deepest vibes and harmonies of the universe. That finally led me to get my bass last week (I call “her” Luna for the Bass-universe I’m into now).

I want to go for Japanese City Pop and Jazz. This is the great city life I feel while driving through the shading lights of the night. My big dream with BassBuzz: There’s a Jazz Club in my area I want to join and play electric bass there after work, and enjoy the nights with Luna, great people, and great music.

Thanks a lot to Josh for his great spirit as a teacher, and thanks to this forum for its so cheerful and helpful mood! I am excited to hear from you all and am thankful to be a part of this grand BassBuzz-Family.

All the Best from Berlin, Germany

Hi my name is Steve I’m so new to the bass that I’m currently looking for my first to buy and looking for some advice. Looking for something for £300 or less and as it’s my first probably passive as it’s a little less to think about as I learn the instrument.
