So recently I've had the itch to play bass. I think it's due to being bored and unenthusiastic to play the guitar. I've been playing guitar for over 11 years now but for the last year or so I haven't really practiced as hard as I used to. So I thought of trying something a bit different that may help.
With the help of one of my close friends (who's a great bass player) he leant me his Ibanez SRX-500 for really, as long as I want.
So today I went out and bought Bass guitar magazine (great interview with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten) to look for some inspiration and what I should persue.
Set that aside and learnt the bass line to "Play that funky music white boy". Already I'm alot more inspired and looking at music in a totally different way. I'm quite happy.
If I keep this up I'll look into buying my own bass (was looking at the Ibanez GWB-35) and maybe even look to join another band but as a bass player.
While you're reading this, please suggest some songs with 'need to know' bass lines![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
