troubadour Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi I've been lurking here for a while and been impressed with the helpful and encouraging responses everyone invariably gets to their posts. So I've plucked up courage to register myself. I've been out of bass-playing action for almost 7 years, a combination of breaking my arm in a bizarre dog-walking accident, losing my permanent job and having to contract away from home. Things have settled down now on both fronts and I've recently joined a soul/funk band playing not all the usual stuff. Really great fun and a friendly bunch. I'm enjoying playing as much as I ever have. I do have one issue though, my basses are now too heavy for me. They all weigh in at the just over 9lbs (just over 4kg) mark. I can see I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the Market Place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Good evening, Troubadour, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Bass weight an issue..? You may want to look at some hollow or semi-hollow basses..? Some folks actually prefer them..! Edited July 20, 2015 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
