People of the Bass forum...
Um, I am completely new to any form of Guitar... yes, the only stringed instrument I have played is floss...
Now, I have, however, some luck in the bass, in different instruments. I use to play Trombone, and vocally I am a baritone. So bass is nothing new to me. Guitars and how to start on them is a completely different story.
Would their be anyone willing enough to take a new-new-new-newbie under their wing and kind of be a somewhat mentor and open to the ever-inevitable stupid questions that I must ask in searching for, and buying, and playing, and figureing out the bass guitar? Like what styles their are... what guitar is best for a beginner... such as those... :) Any emails or replies to this would be extremely thanked! Ok... later!
L'Homme (Means: "the man" in french)
Start with James "Wheat" Martin's completely free, on-line Bass Book.
It contains everything a bass player needs to know up to about the intermediate level.
This site right here contains several useful articles on bass playing in the Guitarnoise Bass Section.
I hope this helps. Welcome to Guitarnoise.

I think there are lots of people here that would be willing to help you out. If you have a question, ask. The only way to learn is to ask and play. Look at some of the older forums first, though. There is good material there.
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
