LOVE the bass, love it love it. But it is a big old heavy mofo, so you might want to consider all your alternatives.Gleemonexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329310168801733659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523577.post-48937360205855583932008-10-16T14:57:00.000-07:002008-10-16T14:57:00.000-07:00Darlin, you speak to my heart!I took up bass guita...Darlin, you speak to my heart!<BR/><BR/>I took up bass guitar at the age of 31 (because Kim Deal is my HERO and if there is a heaven and I get to go there I'll be the bassist in a Pixies cover band called U-Massholes), with my only previous musical experience being a hellish three years of flute in junior high. My husband, ace guitarist, accompanied me to the store (I'd recommend someone knowledgeable coming with you, especially if you're as clueless as I was) and worked out on it a little (because I seriously did not know how to hold it, so how could I know if it worked?), and I bought it and a wee 50 amp. Then we went home and by the end of the day I was stumbling through some Ramones! It's good for the soul, it really is, and three years later, not that I'm any stripe of "Good at it," but I think I'm pretty OK -- I'm in a band because I own a bass, know what I mean? The Stu Sutcliffe plan. heh. <BR/><BR/>To sum up: a girl can and certainly should dream.Gleemonexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329310168801733659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523577.post-9553597645999580062008-09-24T10:10:00.000-07:002008-09-24T10:10:00.000-07:00I have been asking for Guitar lessons for 2 years....I have been asking for Guitar lessons for 2 years. I have not received them. Living in a small town doesn't help. My dream is to have a cool garage band. Play all night and rock out. I have a very good guitar. A Les Paul. The name doesn't mean anything to me either, but apparently it is one of the best. It's an electric I want and Acoustic. Now that I am unemployed I will try to get this organized. I will keep you posted. Maybe some day we can rock together.Beach Buddies & Gimli Playgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331730278151402908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523577.post-44124678813399460082008-09-22T17:31:00.000-07:002008-09-22T17:31:00.000-07:00jobthingey - thanks - i'll get in touch with her!x...jobthingey - thanks - i'll get in touch with her!<BR/><BR/>xup - i like personal touches. that's why i put it on my blog, just to see if there could be any coincidences (like a bass player willing to give me lessons and one of their used bass guitars). see jobthingey's comment - sorta a coincidence! we'll see where it goes....then, yeah, i guess i'll ask for lessons for xmas or something.Meaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186177540002367024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523577.post-52928733434973894792008-09-22T14:45:00.000-07:002008-09-22T14:45:00.000-07:00Not to state the obvious or anything, but have you...Not to state the obvious or anything, but have you tried a music store? They've been known to sell you a musical instrument if you ask real nice and fork over a bunch of money. They also have some good connections to music teachers.
