Bass player in my soul?

As I mentioned in another post, a friend was going to lend me one of his basses. He brought it to me a month ago and I picked it up pretty quickly. It was a very nice bass, a MIM Fender Jazz. Last week, he offered to sell it to me for $75. Yes, I said $75! :shock: I quickly gave him the money before he could come to his senses.

I also found a Gallien-Krueger Backline 600 amp head on Craigslist. I bought it Friday and since I knew I wouldn't be able to handle having a new head with no cabinet, I stopped by Guitar Center on the way home. I was looking at the GK Backline 2x10 and noticed that the Goldline 2x10 was the same price (it is usually $100 more). I asked about it and he said it was on sale. It's a thing of beauty...

Once I got the head and cabinet hooked up, all I can say is WOW! Amazing sound and LOUD. My neighbors are now going to hate me. The head is 300 watts at 4ohms and 180 watts at 8ohms. Eventually I want to get the [urlhttp://www.guitarcenter.com/Gallien-Krueger-Goldline-115GLX-II-1x15-Bass-Speaker-Cabinet-104480751-i1169241.gc]1x15 cabinet[/url] to go along w/ the 2x10. Saturday, I got together with a guy I work with that plays guitar and jammed. We had learned Sunshine of Your Love, White Room and Tush. He has a very nice MIA Fender Strat and Fender Twin amp. This is our first jam w/ a bass and it sounded so good. As I was packing up, I realized I had the -10db switch turned on on the head, so I wasn't even playing w/ full power.

I have to say, I am picking up the bass way faster than I did guitar. Of course, I know most of the fretboard and I've built up the finger strength and know how to fret properly. But, I learned to play both Cream songs with just a couple days of practice. And there was a couple of times when we were jamming when I quit thinking about what I was playing and just felt the rhythm and I played much better. I still want to play guitar, but I am definitely going to work hard on bass. Once my son gets done w/ marching band, we are going to get him to join us on drums and play some trio stuff (although we'll need to be a quartet cause none of us sings).

Edit: I will try to post some pictures tonight.
