Hi, jazz vocalist here, I also play sax and flute professionally. I was given an ESP B-4E bass, so I decided best to spend some time on it. I have found that weaving lines of harmony around the melody is unbelievably fun and am working towards playing and singing with the bass on gigs. At the moment I have a Phil Jones Bass Cub as an amp. I like the effect a pick brings to the tone and will learn that once I get a bit more autonomy in the left hand.
