Yes, seriously...
Sis, with this age thing....come on, really? You've been bring up how "old" you are a lot, and that is bananas to me. I'm willing to bet that you're not older than my parents...if they're not old, then you certainly are not old. Sometimes, I'm thinking, "Dang, you sick? Called hospice? Looking for retirement homes?"
With that line of thinking, to me, it kind of insults the 60, 70, 80, 90 year olds (like the 90yo woman who graduated a few years ago here) who still want to learn and put that knowledge to good use...and there are many who are...
Also, with that line of thinking, why are you learning bass, then?
I understand, there is not one smiley up there, but believe me...it's not an angry post. 
<----- see...
LOL @ the last line.
No, I'm not older than your parents, and I certainly don't mean to insult the older-than-I folks at all. I don't even feel "old" I just often feel "too" old to do certain things, if that makes sense. I remember when I told my mom I was considering going to law school but thought I was too old for that, she said "well you're only as old as you feel." I replied, "well I
feel like I'm too old for law school."
But anyway.... yeah, I know I'm not "old." I don't even think of my mother as "old." I just think sometimes I'm too old to do certain things. IRT musicians, most musicians where I've lived are either in their 20s or early 30s, OR have been playing since they were in their 20s. So I just assumed that by the time I'm actually ready to do something with whatever I've learned, nobody will want to hear what I have to "say" anyway... not that I want to play for a church or anything like that, but it would be fun to do something more than just play at home.
Idk... I've always wanted to learn an instrument (though my sights were set on keys, not bass). So I guess I'm just wanting to learn because I love music, not so much because I want to be a musician. If that makes sense... ugh. I'm gonna stop now. Feel like I'm rambling. LOL
But yeah, point taken.
