Maybe I'm crazy but in for a penny, in for a pound.
Always wanted to learn Bass guitar, so after 50 years of deliberating I've finally decided to give it a go.
As a beginner I spent hours watching YouTube reviews and reading up on what bass would be best for a newbie and came to the conclusion that a short scale would be a good place to start.
Being a leftie and due to the apparent lack of stock at all the major guitar stores, I was really struggling to find anything suitable.
Finally came across this stunning secondhand Sandberg California Heavy Aged VT4 medium scale (32") and thought sod it, hopefully I'll be playing for the rest of my life so I took the plunge.
Obviously, I'll probably never be able to do it justice, but at least I can just look at it and admire the looks.
So the journey starts, signed up to TalkingBass and looking forward to many happy years of enjoyment.
(If in 6 months time you spot this in the for sale forum, you'll know it didn't pan out as planned)
