New Bass (bass, Nirvana, covers, orchestra, quote)

DearJenny · 03-09-2006, 07:56 AM

I just got a bass a few months ago. Its a fender p-bass. I just got it to learn. Once I learn I think I'll get something better. Anyway, I play basic guitar, and that might help a little. Any advice for starting out? I dont wanna pay for lessons or anything, so I'm hoping somebody here can kinda tell me if I should do drills, or start out reading tabs to learn or whatever. And I was in an orchestra for 7 years playing the cello, so I know bass strings because we kinda sat right next to them and I learned how to play alittle standup bass from them.

Advice please?
