OK, here’s an interesting one.
What is your biggest regret as a bass player?
That one thing you look back and think damn.
It could be turning down an opportunity, selling that bit of irreplaceable bit of gear, or leaving that band.
For me it was a few years ago when I packed up music and sold all my gear.
I then had a couple of years off before falling back in love with it all again.
Amps, cabs, pedals and basses all sold.
The regret I feel for that period is immense. Down and out and packing up. It left a massive hole in my life.
Some people believe in living a live without regret, I don’t. I feel these are important lessons and provide an opportunity to grow.
I’ve only sold 2 basses since I came back into the music world. A Squier P/J the bass that got me back playing and a Epihone JC. The latter one I do regret selling.
Chances are Ive bought a pedal off you if you been selling cheap ones on here. Hardly use them but fun toys to have round. These things I’ll never consider selling now.
I don’t want to live with another period of bass regret.
So, Basschat, what’s your one big bass/music regret?
