Nice! and welcome to the other side. I always find it interesting to see how people come from different instrumental backgrounds to a new instrument, and they always find a unique way to relate the new instrument back to their original, that makes it easier for them to learn.....drummer switching to piano, bass player switching to piano, guitar to bass, etc. Pretty neat how those various instruments can give you a unique set of skills right off the bat, that will enhance how you approach the piano.....The as GK said, the percussive and tempo stuff, i'm sure bass players have a good ear for the bass and probably have an easier time building & hearing from the bottom up, etc.
Anyways, welcome Vince!
