Never been higher than three, one acoustic and purely for jamming. 4 string is a constant since 2005 (she bought it) 5 string is latest in a fairly short line of jazz bass, p bass, this five string YEAH I know #lettingthesidedown #notaproperBCmember #hejustdoesnotgettherelentlessaquisitionthing #heycouldbeworse_leastimnotaguitard

Mine would stop at the first part “red ones sound better for Motown” wouldn’t work. She can see one has five strings and has some advantages for playability, ones an acoustic bass and one she bought for me and I won’t sell. simples

It looks cramped with 7, perhaps my finger counting isn’t working

I watched it in German once, they really didn’t capture all the jokes

I did not know you were putting those in.

Also good tone on the gold top toy bass there

And the earth wire…

Not any more sadly. Don’t dabble with this wood. Cheap for a reason

See my build thread - I had the worst time with that stuff. It drinks grain filler like I drink expresso I just painted it on, it drank it. I put some more on …

Hell has a special place for those who meddle with toy basses. Specially trained imps will use your butt for pitchfork target practice and that’s if you’re get off lightly

Waiting with baited breath 🤞

Let us know how it goes @Blondy

: popcorn 🍿

it’s not just for Christmas

I’d start with a duo and work up to that

Pictures please, when you can @peteb

Well, firstly welcome and you’re in the right place to get polite and well-reasoned advice with this 👍 if it were me, all over again, I’d first get a teacher to make sure I hadn’t picked up bad habits from self-tuition we have lots of US members here btw @Bluewine @jd56hawk @dclaassen amongst others, you aren’t the only one

We will be rooting for you @Blondy you only have to be fairly close, okay?

JMB is JoinMyBand

Nope you’re a spring chicken around here. open mic nights and jam sessions is my advice. I’ve met a superb singer who encourages me to try songs on the fly, and a reliable guitard. Look on Facebook for local events example here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FHRWQeTn7/?mibextid=wwXIfr I guarantee you will be one of very few bass players there One guy who attends my local events is a professional bass luthier and an amazing source of good advice

We welcome refugees from talkbass

What about a tc electronics bh250?

I nominate @Lozz196 as chief tester

I was given one of those and I was stretchered out. Unbeknownst to me I had a very low heart rate and a beta blocker put me into “not sure how you’re still alive” territory
