gub Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Last year i got this old 1960s 3 speed ex police bike and spent about a month or so getting it in to working condition and farting around with it (restoring it ) i have now started to go to work on it when me man is working away , anyway as i was riding it to work toda and while taking in the sights of the cornish countryside i was comparing it to playing different bass guitars, in that you can spend a fortune on these high end boutique bass`s and do they fulfill you ? or would you get just as much form something much more grass roots and basic ? I used to ride a bike with about 21 gears and i never used 18 of them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyslimfast Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Or Clubs/Golfer, Lenses/Photographer, Motorbike/biker. Been there, done all that. Which is why (I'm hoping) that I don't seem to be getting too much of a bass GAS attack. Well...so far.

dmccombe7 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 When you've spent a lot on a bass you feel guilty at not playing it a lot and therefore the additional practice does IMHO make you a slightly "better" player. Any additional practice is a good thing provided you actually make the effort to improve while doing it. However buying a new cheaper bass also makes you play more so i guess that theory is shot to pieces Now i don't know what to do Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
