Trueno Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I know where you're coming from... I find bass playing without a band a bit strange. I've still got some excellent budget gear that doesn't take up much space and I never say die. Have fun with the acoustic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Good luck with whatever you decide, but please don't rule out returning to the bass. All the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best. +1 IMO, playing music's a life-long journey and you never know what's round the corner.. Best of luck with it, whatever you end up doing. 😊 Edited November 30, 2018 by silverfoxnik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepurpleblob Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) It always makes me sad... I've never exceeded the status of average on the bass and I've never really been without a gig. Lucky I suppose. I think as long as you're getting out there and doing what you do... that's the important thing.

tonyquipment Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I know a lot of people are feeling the musical block. I am too. My music friends too. I have a lot of ideas but I haven’t had the energy or motivation to perform them. I think it’s just the run up to Xmas and NY. I hate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I posted in a similar vein last month. on Monday I meet a new band. hard to tell what can be around the corner 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think a lot of us have felt the same over the years. I had a long period where I barely touched a bass through university and just played excessive amounts of soppy, mopey drivel on acoustic guitar. I love acoustic guitar and always keep one freshly strung and ready to go at home. Enjoy your acoustic playing, go and get yourself a lovely acoustic with the money you get from bass gear sales and go and get a real cheap playable bass to our in the corner just in case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Best of luck with whichever musical path you choose to take in the future 👍 I stopped playing several times, for several years each time. I agree with the earlier post that keeping the motivation to play bass without a band can be a struggle. I’m currently taking a forced sabbatical from playing in a band due to family reasons, but on this occasion I’m using the limited time I do still have available to study and practice, going back to re-educate myself on playing so that when I do eventually get back to playing with the band, I’ll be a better player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
