Welcome to the BUZZ! Totally worth the time, and so far, my experience has been very awesome with no frustration as the lessons are there forever at your own pace and the feedback is real not some AI bot responding to a generic question rebound.

Hello everyone. My name is Guido but my friends just call me guits. I’ve had a bass for years and never really done much with it. I have learned a few songs and riffs but never really seriously practiced it. I have an 2015 or something squier jazz that has been fretless and I have refretted and is now basically a PJ as far as pickups go. I finally stumbled on bass buzz and thought I’d at least try to give it a go. I bought the instrument years ago just for fun basically and it’s for sure the instrument in the band that makes everything sound cool but damn hard to play.

Hey y’all.
TL;DR what’s up looking forward to this.
TL commences:
I’m primarily a guitar and synth player, but have often been elected to the position of bass player because everyone is a guitar player and none of them can play in the pocket.
I’ve played bass in punk bands, post hardcore screamo metal bands, a Jawbreaker cover band, but currently play modular eurorack synths in a power-violence band.
Playing in the Jawbreaker cover band got me interested in melodic bass playing as Chris Bauermeister excels at that in a genre that hasn’t historically been known for much more than following the root notes of the guitar player, which was also how I was playing before that.
Combined with a deep love for the constantly moving melodic Rickenbacker bass lines of the band of Montreal in the last few decades and an eventual love and respect of mid-70s and early 80s funk bass borne from chasing the samples from modern French electro (à la Daft Punk, Justice), and the fact that I have a bunch of basses collecting dust, I thought I’d give this course a shot.
Current basses are a Squier VM Jaguar Special active, a 1976 Univox Stereo Bass (extremely exacting Japanese lawsuit copy of the Rickenbacker 4001), a Squier/Fender Classic Vibe 70s Franken-P-Bass I rewired and upgraded pickups on, and a 2003 Ibanez GAXB150 medium scale that I’m refurbishing/re-wiring. I’d really like a short scale Bronco or Mustang but I must have discipline against the GAS.
I play through a Peavey Mark IV with a matching 1x15 cab, a Sunn Alpha 115 combo, a DiCosimo GK 800BR pre-amp pedal, and a NU>X Mighty Plug pro headphone amp with some studio cans. I don’t use effects pedals on bass, but will plug in a tuner and/or a rack compressor depending on what’s going on.
I have good ear training and fretboard knowledge from 30 years of guitar, but I’m going to approach every lesson from the perspective of a total noob bc I want to learrrrrrrrrn.
here’s a gif of a band I used to play in clearly focusing on who is really running the show 𝄢+
