Erm hello. I'm rather new to internet forums and such, and also new to my instrument. But I've been reading this site's forums for a while and find that the community here is quite nice. I'm a bassist and have been playing since last September. I do not go for formal lessons. I'm 14 by 3rd October this year and I'm in a band (with 4 other people from my p4-p6 class). I suppose that means I'm smaller in age than a lot of people here? Heh, I listen to all genres except for pop, RnB (mostly), anything that uses autotune (underground rap doesn't count) and similar genres, though I have a preference for metal and rock (and all sub-genres). Uhhhh. No idea what else to say. I'm just saying hi anyway.
