@T_dub Don’t feel bad, I wasn’t invited either. I guess it’s an exclusive Zoom hang for Aussies only

Landon (Scoundrel, Ohm, Daddy, whatever you prefer) here sayin’ Hey!
I’m in my Mid 20’s in OC, CA. I’ve been playing Bass for about two years now, self taught as most. Obviously YouTube makes learning just about anything dramatically easier/more accessible than days without.
I’m a man of MANY hobbies, but Bass has stuck against all the odds of my ADHD stacked against it haha. I tried learning guitar when I was younger, actually had the hang of it, but didn’t feel that cold chill down my spine that I get when I hear a proper Bass Line, especially when I lay one down!
Influences/Favorites are: RATM, Tool, Rancid, Audioslave, Wu-Tang, Op Ivy, Prophets of Rage, Clutch, Wakrat, Pantera, etc.
here to learn, talk gear, meet likeminded folks, shoot the sh*t, tiger style.
I love Stingrays, Warwicks, Fender Jazz Basses, anything with a bridge pickup, Oh and I LOVE my acoustic Bass, damned be the haters.
Timmy C who?!?
I’m notoriously picky/persistent despite my low skill/experience level, I drive @T_dub crazy with my hard-headedness, momma says I’m special.
Will more than likely be taking some courses once I grow the spine haha
Thanks for readin’, treble high.

Actually it’s Multiple Bass Disorder. Dilemma applies only if there’s a controlling partner involved, but we have solutions for that here.
Basically, most of us here are that “Bad Influence” your mother warned you about. She may have mentioned me and @T_dub by name.

HaHa, yeah, I messed that one up, but they both can apply.

Hello everyone!
Let’s see where to being.
Just turned 40 this summer and found myself single again after ending a 10 absolutely toxic relationship.
I picked up playing bass because of COVID. It looked like we were going to be indoors for a while and I need a hobby besides playing xbox and watching TV, wait do those count as hobbies? Meh i’ll roll with it.
I played in a marching band as a teenager with Air Cadets, I played trombone and Snare Drum for a few years. They never taught us music theory or anything but I was able to play your typical marching band songs for military parades.
Fast forward … I’ve always had an interest in Bass so I picked up a rental bass and AMP and gave it a try for a couple months then decided to pick up my own equipment.
This is my Sire Marcus Miller V7 Vintage 2nd Generation Bass Guitar - Swamp Ash. Online ppl might call it a Fender knock off but at a very reasonable price for it being an Active Bass. I also decided to get a Fender Rumble TL25 it has all the effects you could want with presets and you can customize your own sounds.
I’ve really been enjoying my time learning and just starting to utilize the community side with Forums and private DM’s.
That’s it for now.
Chat soon ya’ll!
