@Jabba_the_gut is building me a matching pair of short scale basses, fretless and fretted. The first one, the fretless, was, by a country mile, my best purchase of 2022, of my entire bass playing life, actually...
I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds.

I place my thumb on the thumb rest (I don't buy basses without), I don't mute notes and I only play with one ☝️ plucking finger. Dreadful technique all round but I can play bass and chew gum at the same time.
Ah, apologies, two points I forgot to include seem to have led to this confusion. a) my driveway is made of tungsten and b) my Volvo 200GL is the 1983 iteration which, I'm sure you remember, was built entirely out of tofu.
