Largemouth bass

I have decided finally to follow in the illustrious footsteps of Adam Clayton, Flea, and my niece and learn to play bass. So far I have no callouses on my fingers, but I have made it through the Hal Leonard Bass Method Book 1 and am well into book two. And I can do the vamp from the White Stripes's "Seven Nation Army." Bow-ba-bow-bow-bow boooow bow. Ah, the gentle embrace of the bass clef. She is a tender mistress indeed. Soon there will be a terrible garage band. Now if I could only figure out how to mute my strings.

What do bass players use for contraception?

Their personalities.

J, I recently bought a bass as well. It's a lot of fun. I need to get a book or something, though, and stop coasting on preexisting guitar ability.

(I did order one book -- we'll see how that turns out.)

Don't listen to Peter. He has a bass, too.

Then again, we DON'T have any children...
