re: baws of the ot, get in here. what was your favorite christmas gift??

Band? LOL, no. I'm just starting to learn to play. I picked it up for a bit as a teen but did not stick with it. I've regretted that now for 30+ years. I recently had a buddy let me borrow a beat up old bass to start learning with and now I've got me a freaking awesome brand new Fender of my own.
