Let me save you some years of stupidity - I’ve been a gigging bass player since I was a teenager, and these are 5 things I wish I learned a lot sooner than I did.

There are a lot of things you can't learn from music school or a bass lesson, that usually only come to you after acquiring "street smarts" (aka making dumb mistakes for years).

I hope by hearing some of my dumb mistakes, you can skip ahead and act like a pro a lot sooner than I did.
