The first band I played in had 3 electric guitar players and a drummer. I was not the best guitarist… but I also wasn’t the worst. So my buddy, by default, decided to buy a bass and started learning.

But what basses are good for beginners? Should you use a pick? What other gear do you need? Do you need a special case? What are the 2 kinds of bass players? And what Gibson bass did my dad, a guitar player, buy from a pawn shop back in 1966 that I used on these solo albums?

Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Jeromy, on the Tweed Couch.
