First day on Bass Guitar

[N1LAF]

After several discussions with Adam, N7YA, I decided today to dive into the world of Bass Guitar playing. Wow, it is Great!. Warrants new avatar. I did a recording, and I don't mind sharing one of my first day on Bass recording. All the bass you here is from my new guitar.

It isn't perfect, I am catching my timing errors, it is because I was thinking rather than playing.

I picked up the Squire Jaguar Bass (has three separate pickups), and the Acoustic B100 (many knobs on it, 100W, very heavy)

I have lots of practicing this summer. Paul, W1GUH, is going to have to bring his guitar over this way, and we need to have a little jam session. Anyone with drums in the area? ;)

My brother plays bass geetar.. He's been playing bass for a few decades. Me, I play violin. Been playing since I was 10. Good luck with your new musical venture.

Congrats Paul! I never regretted switching from violin to bass when asked to from the orchestra director. The real fun began when I went electric as they are a bit easier to lug around than a double string bass. You sound better than I did my first day. Here is a shot of my latest acquisition:

Whatever you do, don't end up playing like this jerk.

Check out the late John Entwistle's performance on the bass, begins at 4:17 in the video. I don't think my fingers are even capable of moving that fast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTEmldzx1xE

(To keep this post on-topic with ham radio, WB6ACU jumps in at 6:18 in the video.)

P.S.: I also played the double string bass in the school orchestra. I had one loaner instrument at school and another loaner at home, courtesy of the public school system. It saved having to drag the beast around. All the other kids playing the violin, viola and cello had to buy their own instruments.
