Hey everyone. I am a 57 year old that picked up the bass again after 30 years. I was never good. I have been playing off and on, for the last 6 years with no real focus. I want two things. First, I want to be able to groove better. I want to be able to improvise bass lines, mostly in the jazz and latin jazz styles of music, but also different styles. I want to be able to play in jazz groups without feeling that I can't contribute.

I have a couple places where I practice. I have an Ampeg micro-VR and Zoom B6 set up in my office. This is where I'll learn songs usually. I can put sections of songs to loop and slow them down with Moises through my computer. Then in my basement I currently have a Boss Katana 500 running through a couple Seismic Audio 410's. I also have an Ampeg Venture V7, I switch between the two amps depending on how I'm feeling. Anyway, this is where we have band practice. My wife is very cool and doesn't mind the noise, she also plays keyboards and sings backup vocals in the band.

Hey everyone, my name is Rich. The first time I picked up a bass was in 1977.....yeah I'm old! I played all through the '80's and some of the '90's. Always in a band, some that got close to signing but you know how that goes. I got away from playing for quite some time. I got back into it about 4 years ago. Why am I here? I feel you never stop learning. There's always something you can pick up. A lot of my playing now is original music within different genres. I'm looking to be more creative in coming up with bass parts and really "using" the fretboard. I also want to say thanks to Murphy. We had great chat awhile back and he said he had an idea for this type of community. Thanks Murphy for reaching out.
