I bought myself a used Fender Squire Jazz Bass for my birthday.

It complements the Fender Squire Stratocaster that I bought about 25 years ago.

Thanks to Rocksmith 2014, I’ve really improved my guitar playing and it made me want to try my hand at playing the bass.  After messing around with the guitar/bass emulator, I decided it I liked it enough to pick up a modestly priced bass.  Instead of buying it off the Internet, I went to my local music store, Tall Toad Music and got some great help and advice from them and walked out of there a happy customer. 🙂

I got home and hooked it up to Rocksmith and gave it a try:

Not bad for my first time on a real bass.
