Hi, I've the same username on TalkBass and BassesbyLeo. A long long time ago, in my early teens, I was a guitarist (bridge humbucker, distortion etc) I wanted to play bass, and occasionally did, but physically they were usually a bit too much for me (I doubt I ever encountered one back then which had been properly set up....)
This year being this year, I finally did what I've been wanting to do all this time, and bought myself a bass, a TRBX, chosen for a combination of the very easy neck, my experience of Yamaha's reliability, and the beautiful dark redburst finish. A few months later, I'm very happy with my playing, and with what I've learnt about what I actually want in a bass, and will be getting a G&L in the new year.
