went to guitar center and got a yamaha rbx1700vs(cant find any pics on google =/.) bass.

with an acoustic(brand) 20watt bass amp.

i just wanted something to learn on and this seemed decent enough..

any really easy stuff anyone has for me to learn that sounds cool? preferably starting slow stuff because i have not even looked into understanding tabs yet, which i'm told are pretty self explanatory

7 nation army

Learn some Blink 182 stuff to start.

Or even metallica.

Pretty easy riffs and nothing hard.

At least it gives you something to start learning.

sunshine of your love by cream is fun to play. it was the first song that i could play all the way through

thanks for the suggestions =)

so far i can only play parts of songs because i havn't had much time but i've got these ones down partially

seven nation army(great song =p) i can play almost all of this one because it doesn't have much variation.
the ocean(zeppelin) just learned the beginning few parts...
brain stew(greenday)
25 or 6 to 4(chicago)


a few more that i cant recall the names of atm =p

Queen's Another One Bites The Dust

ooh another good one i would like to know =).


so this morning i learned blitzkrieg bop, by the ramones, and longview by greenday

Root, fifth, 7th, octave

learn em, use em, etc

this is great advice because of the well-known bass line. most musicians dont go around listening to blink 182 past age 16.

i'd really like to adjust the action because(as i've been told) you have to hold down the fret's slightly harder due to the string vibrating against the neck(i believe the bars)

would i need to raise my action or lower it to prevent the buzzing noise?
