Hello All;
Newbie here. Just traded 'up,' from an Ernie Ball Stingray to a Fender 24. I found out a little too late that Fender is far and away the best bass guitar maker, period. I am a drummer for years who recently began playing bass guitar. I would thoroughly appreciate any and all tips and pointers (i.,e., mistakes I could aviod, things I could pratice to improve my playing, instructional videos) about playing bass guitar. I also ordered several instructional video/dvd's - I am taking lessons from two teachers (one classical and one jazz/rock) but I have yet to find a dvd that is deep and well as paced - what I mean is that it goes very slow and explains detail while giving up close (maybe split screen) views of the finger placements. Thanks to all who respond - glad to be a member of the forum.
