Soledad Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Found Basschat when I've been looking at used basses, amps etc. Been playing many years but why stop - the notes haven't changed after all. Now tutoring my 9 year old grandson! Was always a Fender devotee (3 Precisions but only one at a time, a '67 Jazz) a Warwick Thumb thru-neck (about a '95), a Sei Flamboyant 5 string headless (got to know Martin Petersen). When I started out there were very few actual bass amps - Fender bassman if you could afford, Vox Foundation, Selmer Treble n Bass 50... so I feel like I go back to the beginning. The 3 landmarks in bass that I see are / were, Leo's original design; bass sound systems (Acoustic 360 and onward); and round wound strings. So now I'm playing at home - a budget Yamaha 4 string, a Dean (budget) fretless; a Trace 715 combo. On the lookout for a decent fretless, not too decednt, maybe around a £400-ish something. Sorry to ramble on - I love bass, always have and it never goes away. I'll be in good company here I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Welcome! My grandson is a bit younger than yours, but loves my basses and is doing well on ukulele. Lovely to be able to nurture that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
