I’ve been watching a fair bit of Bobby Vega recently and he said in an interview/clinic that the best bass is the one you have with you. A bit trite perhaps, but he makes a good point. Rather than searching for the ‘perfect’ bass by continually buying new/different stuff, which I’ve certainly been guilty of (often buying the same thing again later on in the pantheon of new comers), maybe find something that does the job and you quite like (at least don’t hate) and stick with it until it becomes part of you and your ‘sound’.
Now, before you all start crying, “Burn the heretic!” let’s see how long it is until I forget the nonsense above and ‘must have’ a different bass 😂.
