Szymbrush Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hey everyone! Another beginner joining the flock, started last summer and - against my expectations - got completely obsessed! I've been playing for about 8 months and have 3 basses now, so that's just over 1 bass per 3 months... let's hope the acquisition rate slows down now or I'll go broke But, that'll be AFTER i've hunted down a nice fender aerodyne! Ok, back to practice! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Welcome aboard! There is very simple advice to follow as a beginner bassist. Keep the beat and don't buy another bass until you can play the one you have. Not sure how many people obey it, but it's still good advice.😉 Edited May 1, 2022 by Richard R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymbrush Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hah, this is very good advice in all hobbies in general, and indeed I doubt many follow it 😅 One thing that I know about myself though is that if I have a thing that I realllly like, I just end up using it more. I have an Italian motorcycle - the performance to price ratio is questionable (even if I'll never ride it to its limits), but damn is it a thing of beauty - when I enter the garage I feel positively emotional. Call me shallow Back to the basses: the ones I have are a necessity (they're what was available locally at the cheapest price point when I needed one, and due to moving countries a few times it was actually just cheaper to buy more), and I like them, but... you know Life is hard, eh?

Richard R Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Ah well, you're excused. If you had already bought two Sadowski's and an Overwater then that would be different 😁 I do know what you mean about spending more time with things you like though. The bass I first bought was a Brawley Artemis, but for some reason I knew I would want the 5 string version. When one came up here I had to buy it, even though I wasn't really good enough to buy another. The 4 string is a lovely instrument but hasn't been played since. And I in September I may have swapped a Ford S-Max for a 2006 Jaguar XK 4.2l mid-life-crisis. Like your bike, I could never take it even close to the limits, but I think it is a really beautiful piece of design and engineering.

Geek99 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’ve been to Dublin it was very nice - liked the baggot particularly a friend of mine from Tralee called it “a fecking dive” but I was totally blissed out listening to traditional music with a pint in what was then called Fitzsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
