ChubbyStumps

Hello Chaps, My name is Phil & I've just picked up a bass for the first time in 25 years. I'm now 64 & have just discovered that my hands are a bit older than they were! A touch of arthritis & too much Fairy Liquid have made them both stiff & soft at the same time. However, I'm determined to get on with it, so I sent my one remaining bass off to be fettled, which I pick up tomorrow, then it's on to learning to play again. The bass is a 6 string (Tune Somnus Zi 6) and I'm afraid it'll be a bit too much for me at the moment (I've got very short fingers as well) so I may be looking to chop it in for a medium/short scale. I've had loads of fun catching up with all the latest developments in bass gear and all the new techniques & players & I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Might see you on other posts. Regards Phil

I've got a Fernandes Jazz bass and a Tune Synchron VI 6-string.

Hello all, I've just turned 60 and the kiddiewinkies have grown up, so I thought I'd start playing again. I've got lots to catch up on, lots to relearn, so here I go again. I've got a couple of instruments that have been in the garage for the last twenty years, so the first thing is to dig them out & see what's what. Wish me luck. Stubs
