Teaching myself bass guitar...
The Albatross:
Haha, I've actually heard tuba boy in person.
That didn't really come across as well as I wanted it to. What I was trying to say was that expanding your instrumental variety really helps with playing the bass. Because undeniably, bass guitar is the greatest instrument around.
Darkstrike:
This one would be a good choice.

Albatron:
I'm looking hard at that squire.
I think i want a versitile bass, I'll be playing rock or metal but that's all i know.
Albatross, I think I know what you mean. I've been fiddling around with guitar and piano, and they do help.
Darkstrike:
Thats why I mentioned the P Bass, they pretty much work in any situation.
This is a more versatile P,

You could try a Jazz.

But the best thing of all to do is, go to your local shop, try out a bunch of different basses, and see which you like.
What's your price range?
What band's do you like?
Phaedra:
Hello all, I am a bass newbie* and would like to know what you guys would recommend in terms of effects pedals. I'm looking for anything that'll add cool reverb/distortion/etc (the band I'm in** is a wannabe drone/post rock group). Since I know crap all about music, I don't even know where to start, so help would be appreciated. :wink:
*I've 'had' a bass for about half a year. Mostly I come home from work, look at it sadly, and am too tired to play it.
**Only one of us has been playing for longer than a few months. We have three guitars and a bass. Essentially, we're not a band, just bored kids. Kids that are over 21.
