I have a video posted here somewhere but it was about 3 years ago and I can't remember which thread it was posted to. But if anyone would like to see it, go to YouTube and type in Ernest-Deaf Bassist and watch it. Enjoy!

Sorry it took so long but here are the pictures from the2009 Guitar Recital. I am still working on uploading the video. Enjoy! :P

I'm in Macon, GA

Keep it up and practice every day. I started the same way and I've been playing for 7 years now. I play both guitar and bass.

Here's a pic of my bass. It's an American-made Fender Highway One Jazz Bass with a Bad Ass II bridge. Ernest
