Hello Fusar! I'm really sorry for a delay in answering this as I somehow missed the thread...
I'm really glad you are getting into bass playing. Regarding bass purchase, If you tried Fender Precision bass and you like it (its comfortable to play and has a good low action) you should get it. Generally I would suggest a Fender Jazz bass instead simply because it has two single pickups so its a little more versatile regarding sound. Precision bass is good in what it does - raw rock sound! Just try out jazz basses to in order to see if they are comfortable to you also and then choose. There is no wrong choice there - both type of basses are legendary. If you have experience on guitar, learning how to play bass will be easier as notes are in the same places, same theory applies etc. In my estimate if you can afford 30 mins a day practice you will get down the basic technique in 3 months for sure. I would recommend practicing fingerstyle from beginning which may seem harder at start but you will get into it. So yes in 3 months you should be able to join a band (with hard practice and with nice previous guitar playing skills). There is a lot in bass technique etc, but bass is also a straightforward instrument to start on - lines can be very very simple yet very very effective (roots only lines and similar which are found in legendary hit rock songs). Cheers and let me know if you have any further questions and also for lessons recommendations. Syllabus is not updated with my latest lessons. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Sounds like a good plan Fusar! Check out the Jazz bass to see if you like it more. Generally precision one (with a P pickup) is also a nice choice. I'm pretty sure you'll manage to pull it off in 3 months with some nice practice. Let me know if you need any help with the bass lessons here. I can recommend them and further explain topics if its needed.
