@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.
