It's funny to see some people not liking blank fretboards. For me the standard dot inlays are really grating. It's not a complete deal breaker but very nearly. 
 

I don't mind if they're offset, but blank boards are my preference by far.

Sounds a bit 33 at 45 to me but still interesting - not sure I could manage an entire A and B side of it though!

Yep, it's definitely not for everyone!

You wouldn't know how much of a fantastic bass player this guy is from most of his music

Central West area. Not too far from Ballarat.

So where in Oz are you hope its not in Vic 

Yep I'm in Vic. But I'm country Vic. So we're not in stage 4 restrictions. Still being very cautious though. 

Kiwis? I'm outta here! 😂

Certainly seems like a friendly place so far. Thanks for the welcomes!

Cool stories here. It's interesting to see how varied experiences are.

I started playing guitar when I was 13. I was playing in metal bands by my late teens/early twenties and got pretty good. Played off-and-on over the years then decided to start getting back into writing stuff a couple of years ago.

I've gotten more serious with my writing and started laying down some woefully inadequate bass tracks, thinking I would just find someone to record them properly for me. In the meantime I kept trying to improve them myself and discovered I was having a great time.

Now I'm practising scales, honing technique, and enjoying things I never enjoyed on guitar. And my bass tracks are improving bit by bit!

So probably I would say I've been seriously playing for one or two months. Just using my wife's bass she never ended up using herself until I can get my own.

Wow gorgeous bass. Congrats!

I know I'm very far from the Europe but us non-EUs seem welcome here from what I can tell. If it makes any difference 95% of my family were born in England including me! 🙃

I'm relatively new to bass after playing guitar for 20 years. Happens a lot, I know. Funnily enough I'm enjoying bass more than I ever enjoyed guitar, and I enjoy it a lot at times. I think I'm converted.
