Welcome @StefTheCat, would love to see/hear something from the two of you playing together if itās possible. I wonder if you could mix in the base with the traditional instruments for a modern twist.

Thanks @LavaLemming - Great minds think alike! Once I have some competence with the Dong Xiao, then we would look at doing some recording, but in the meantime I am thinking of how I can incorporate some of our more modern instruments in the meantime.

Continuing the discussion from Introduce Yourself! (2023):
Hello from Poland!
My name is Leila and this is my 3rd attempt at playing bass. I started at 16 and got somwhere between beginner and intermediate. Then I stopped, sold the bass, and was missing it ever since. I bought my second bass for my 30th birthday, practiced some, but got discouraged and kept in its case for another 10 years. I turned 41 last week, and for awhile now, getting that bass out was all I could think about. So I did, and magic happened, I finally feel complete. Since itās been so long, Iām starting almost from zero, but I know Iām going to have so much fun. Hopefully, 3rd timeās the charm

Welcome, @Leila. Glad youāre here. B2B is the perfect way to learn bass. The third time will definitely be the charm. Enjoy!

Hello Josh!
I just made the commitment to your lesson plan and I am excited to get started!
Iād really like you to know how impressed and inspired I am with you and your ability to convey information and with BassBuzz as a step by step guide to guitar heroics! 
I have a close friend that is a very skilled guitar player who has been prodding me to try my hand at bass for sometime now!
Iāve been lurking around the internet for a few weeks while pondering the idea of whether learning a new instrument was in my future or not?
I had not felt too compelled to try after I had watched several other online instructors efforts and formats of instructionā¦then through complete luck and a stroke of good fortune, I found a BassBuzz video on YouTube and I have been hooked ever since!
I made my first trip to a guitar store two weeks ago, (was slightly disappointed to learn that no one keeps a left hand or as I prefer to call it, a CORRECT hand 
guitar in stock!) but Iāve since found a clean used one locally which I purchased, a 2nd trip to the guitar store yesterday and an online purchase of your incredible āB to Bā system today and I am on my way!
I really enjoy your style of instruction and your ability to explain/convey the necessary information and all the online videos are incredibly well done! Great job!
Thank you for providing the exact kind of inspiration I was looking for, and hereās to a great new adventure! Rick P in Okc

@deanapierce3 Welcome fellow left hander! You may want to check a couple of BassBuzz threads for LH:
A link to a spreadsheet of current LH basses available, that I and a couple of other LH BassBuzzers try to keep updated, is in the first post at the first link above. There are three sheets; the other two are for discontinued LH models, and for stores that sell LH model basses.
And a belated welcome from me to all the other new BassBuzzers in 2023. I canāt keep up with all the new folks, but welcome to the forum!
