KevinJazzBass Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi guys, I know this isnt a for sale thread but I wanted to say something and thought this was the best place to do it. I have two very nice basses which will cover just about any style I want to play and I still I check this Basses for section several times a day. Infact if I spent as much time practising as I do thinking about buying new basses I'd be alot better than I already am. I can help myself though. Does anyone have the same problem?

chuck_stones Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Ditto. I am actually in the market for a number of basses though, sadly my finances aren't as keen as I am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobothy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I've just got the bass I was after but I'm still on here looking. Since I joined I've been through at least 8 basses to get to this one, hopefully I'll just get a fretless version (Sandberg JJ5 aged somewhat!) at somepoint to accompany it then stop looking, therefore buying! It's just GAS is so compulsive it's hard to stop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I do.[/quote] You just keep telling yourself that seriously though you can make yourself better on the bass by that method, but you kind of actually have to shut your eyes and imagine playing the bass. And not just like passively, you actually have to think about playing the exact notes of the song you're trying to learn and the movement of your fingers and that.
