[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1389044948' post='2329350'] Do you need a two octave bass ? I have always felt that shorter basses have more growl on the bottom frets where you need it. [/quote] Wow. That's interesting. You mean shorter necked basses, right? As in that a larger percentage of the string is over the body? Or in other words: we are still talking about the same scale length, yes? While there is no doubt in my mind that the neck length/body length ratio (of course only between nut and saddles) is very important, and possibly gets more important the more flexible the neck is, I had no idea that this could be translated into growl. I'm just not good enough to even test this, as I get a plethora of different timbres/styles even when trying to play evenly, but will surely remember this. Me likey growl. Hey! Got an idea!

Indeed, surprisingly, this turned out to be a rather good read after all. Well done, Shell and guys, for splitting amicably. Good luck with the other band! And those above are right, I think: a bass/drums duo that works well together can conquer the world. You could help Mark with Poland this saturday.

Hey Charlie, You picked the right instrument. Bass is the simplest one to master. All of us simpletons can, so you can too. Of course I was only kidding. The other simpletons can. I can't. Enjoy the bass and BC! bert
