You guys are WAY ahead of me. I picked up a Mexican P-bass last year as an experiment. I'm trying to get some music into my life in retirement, and I thought the bass might be simpler to get good on than some of the other instruments I acquired (Gretsch six string, Yamaha piano, a couple of decent Fender amps). So far I'm still awful, but at least now I am awful in innovative rather than pedestrian ways.

Hope springs eternal.
