: : : Fenders are good...i got one. and not to burst your bubble or anything, but it's going to take a lot of practice before you get good. take a few months of lessons and practice what they taught you. don't get frustrated either. it takes patience and time. having a band is fun and all, but those that are really good, practice hard and never give up. go pick up a basic music book from the library too...it has the basic bass notes if you plan on trying to read music. good luck!!!~~xoxo...lyssa
