Introduce Yourself! (2023)

Welcome all new badasses :slight_smile: I hope you all find something here to help in your discovery of Bass. I meant to keep up with the lounge and meeting all the new and regulars here in the B2B journey. Life has thrown some crazy curve balls and distractions so I haven’t stayed active on the forums as planned, but I’ve been steady climbing my way through the B2B course both online and DVD. I’m almost through section 12 and loving the Bass life! :smiley: I’m involved with some charity work and other intense learning programs at same time as B2B, and planning to be more active on the forums here. Keep rockin people! :guitar: :guitar:

Hi all, I’m Roger. I recently picked up the bass again after about a decade of being busy with non-musical stuff (excuses, excuses). I just decided one day to get my bass out of storage, and I’m so glad I did! It was like re-connecting with an old friend.

She’s an old lady - an early '57 Fender P-bass - and she’s taken apart right now to get some long overdue TLC.

Anyway, I’m a good player but I know next to nothing about amps, gear, strings, and just getting the right sounds that I want. So I look forward to learning from everyone here on the forum!

Welcome, @rogercol84. Glad you’re here. But, man, whatever you do, don’t ever post your street address, or you’ll get a lot of ā€œattentionā€ from Buzzers who want to drop by to kneel at the feet of your bass! Enjoy!

Ha! Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I probably won’t get the same attention when I’m 66!

Well @rogercol84 if you ever want to swap that worn out old bass for a newer more reliable Mexican P Bass I’ll gladly help you out and welcome :sunglasses:

I like the Dark Side of the Moon vibe there. Nicer look than Waters’ all-black thing IMHO.

Hey y’all, I’m Catlin. Before you ask, it’s pronounced exactly as it’s spelled and I am a guy. :joy: Some fun facts below.

I graduated from SELU in 2013 with a Bachelor’s in Music Education. My main instrument was Saxophone. Played it from 6th grade to the end of college. During that time, I borrowed a bass from a friend, but never got my own until a couple days ago.

Never found work with my degree, so I chose to join the US Army. I have been in the army for over 9 years and seek to serve a minimum of 20 so I can get that retirement. I’m turning 33 this month.

Other than bass, my hobbies include lifting weights, martial arts, video games, financial management books and learning Japanese.

I look forward to learning alongside all of you.
