Bass Guitar
Welcome
About the only thing I've ever done with a bass guitar before around 2018 was to pick it up, pluck a few notes, and then put it back down. I've played accoustic and electric guitars since I was a teenager, but never really got interested in the bass.
I was running sound for our church (2018), and the band found itself without a bass player. It sounded somewhat empty without the low-end, so I went out and bought a cheap bass (Ibanez SR200) for something like $200, spent about a month playing around with it, and then started playing with the band.
At first, I was playing from the mixing console on the second floor overlooking the sanctuary while also running sound for the entire service, but later, someone else took over the sound and I was able to play from the stage.
I've still got a long way to go, but I'm having fun, and I'm worshiping!
What I've started to put together here is a collection of some Youtube videos that I play along with, some tutorials, and maybe some other bass guitar related "stuff".
