I'm just starting out and looking for a beginner bass guitar. I have almost no experience, apart from this one time me and some friends tried to start a band and I was the bassist, but no one committed so we stopped after 2 practices (I was borrowing someone else's bass and haven't been able to practice since). I am just gonna write a lot, so you sympathize with me and my situation. Growing up I always saw the practice in your friends garage punk rock bands on tv, and assumed that's what my teenage life would be like. I'm 15 and came to the shocking realisation that if that's what I want I should go after it myself, and it's not gonna fall in my lap. Putting this notice out there might not do anything but at least I am being proactive about my goals. I don't have much money but if you respond to this notice I'll scrounge some together and maybe sell some cd's or something. Thanks for reading my little rant, I really hope you can help me out.
