I was like you, years and years of bass guitar playing including fretless but finally took the plunge and got a second hand NS NXT. Despite what members here have said about it being a glorified bass guitar, the reaction I have so far on its outings is very favourable. It certainly doesn’t feel like a bass guitar, the 41” scale is challenging, but it does have discreet dot markers in the note positions which certainly helps to ensure your in tune and not floundering around on a totally bare board.

Black is black - Los Bravos

+1 for Kinga Glyk Kyle Eastwood Chas Chandler (late of the Animals) Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span)

I’ve got a RokSak gig bag that fits well. As to strings I’ve got La Bella Deep Talking on. You need strings without silks at the ball end for the 3 point bridge, but you probably know this already.

Paint it black. - The Rolling Stones

Sweet soul music - Arthur Conley

Fire - The crazy world of Arthur Brown

My daughter had “When you say nothing at all” - she thought it was a Ronan Keating song but I have a better version by Alison Krauss. as an alternative “ Baby now that I found you” which I think was originally the Foundations, but again a better version is Alison Krauss & Union Station.

Like NancyJohnson I am also,puzzling about the bow. Should it be French or German? I’ve ordered German but don’t know if that’s a good choice.

Well that might be nice. Give a chance to sell the BGs on the rack, but judging by the state of Bass Marketplace at present, which seems rather slow, that may be a bit hopeful.

I wish all manufacturers would stop using silks. Many bridges don’t suit silks and they seem pretty pointless.

Everlasting love - Love Affair

Hard days night - Fab 4

I am looking for a tutor. I like the idea of being the popular kid in school 🤣 but I don’t have room at home for a DB, the EUB seems to be taking up enough space.

Urban spaceman - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Octopus’ garden - The Beatles (Ringo Starr)

I have La Bella Low Tension flats on my Spector fretless. Super strings, would recommend them.

Snow Bound - Four play
