Happy New Year! My name is Lori, and I started the Beginner to Badass lessons back on Dec. 1st. Enjoying everything Josh is putting out so far! In my mid 50s at this point, but picked up my first bass at 15 and taught myself some songs by ear and bad habits early on. Put the bass down for awhile and picked up drums, now back on bass working with some other newbies in a Rock-school band type setting. Really wish all these lessons were around when I started way back when, but better late than never. :grinning: The lessons have really rekindled my love for bass.
Current gear is a Washburn Taurus T-24 bass and a couple of Ampeg combo amps. Have my eye on a MusicMan Stingray Special that should be gracing my doorstep soon! :star_struck:
Influences are Steve Harris from Iron Maiden and Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath.

Hello and Happy New Year! I’ve been playing for three days total. I decided to try and learn to play the bass after listening to my daughter practice guitar for the past two years. My first musical adventure in 30 years – far too long. :smiley:

Ya?
I modded it a bit so I can really glow in the dark. If you’re no so damn far you could have taken it for a spin. The Delano Xtendrr is so awesome.
