Getting all elements of a bash array except the first

I have an indexed bash array and I'd like to use an expression like "${a[@]}" except I want it to not include a[0]. The best that I can think of is this:

j=0
for i in "${a[@]}"
do
    b[j]=${a[++j]}
done

and then use "${b[@]}". Is there a better way?

arrays bash
