As @OllyW, just unboxed in the garden and it matches the cushions perfectly. 😄 Oh my! Not plugged it in yet but it's really resonant acoustically, the bassline to Joy Division's 24 Hours sounded great with the droning D string. And before I knew it, tea was burnt. 🙄😁

Totally. It was more just showing you don't have to stick to the rules to still have a bluegrass vibe. Nothing wrong with sticking with traditional bluegrass either if that's what you want.

I know it's a bit of a cliché to say Jimi Hendrix was good, but I've just been listening to some live stuff and this from the Royal Albert Hall is sublime. The combination of his voice and guitar compliment each other perfectly and are just beautiful as they wash over you.

If it's just for some fun jamming then it doesn't have to be strictly traditional bluegrass and some fun can be had with the basslines. Given that they aren't using traditional instruments then I see no reason for you to. Ignoring the boring regimented parameters of genres take a look at Bela Fleck & The Flecktones (what's known as 'New Grass' I think) and Victor Wooten is happy playing funky basslines on a far from traditional electric bass, and God only has knows what 'Future Man', Wooten's brother, is playing, a Synthaxedrumitar if memory serves. It has the traditionalists running for the mountains, oh hang on, they're already up there. 😉

I've just had the same. She's on her way!! 😁

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

The Ibanez Talman short scale is a great bass, but it is heavy due to it's relatively large body.

Band Of Gold - Freda Payne

Well it puts a new spin on things, seams a bit pointless though.

Spinning Around - Kylie

Fixed 😉👍

From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea - The Cure

Gouge Away - The Pixies

Maid Of Orleans - OMD
