Bass guitar player looking for some fun. Many years ago, I was a trumpet player in big bands. After a long hiatus, I turned to bass about six years ago or so. I know basic music theory, can read a bit, and can play by ear or from tabs. My jazz walking and improv needs lots of work, but I can keep up on most rock/alt/pop music.
