As @Geek99 suggests the rhythm is the foundation and where I’d start if I had to again. I didn’t learn it well until someone started to write out rhythmic connotations. Once you’ve got rhythms move on to scales. Once you feel ready to read some songs, try and make them ones you don’t know so you’re not sub consciously using your ear.

@Hellzero some great options there. Having heard several fretted carvins that’s the pick of the bunch for me!

After 5 years mine hasn’t changed and I’ve still not won 😂

You’ve named 7 bass players out of millions 😂

Same for me. Probably would have kept mine if I could have afforded to but I did struggle with the first few frets. Mine was fretless and it made intonation quite difficult.

How much of the world’s wealth comes from employee pay packets? The pay rises at my company are very much restricted by what is left after shareholders take their dividend increase and what profit margins have been achieved that year. Individual performance has almost nothing to do with it. If Musk and Trump have proven anything it’s how much power shareholders wield in our global economy. Trump btw has shares in US oil. I wonder why he’s so keen to out tariffs on the Canadian stuff!

I think there is just less of a stigma around seeking help for younger people than that of older generations. I was brought up on the “just get on with it” school of thought.

Love the sounds Jeff gets from these basses but always been hesitant that it’s just because he sounds good.

Not the right wear for a factory finish, there’s normally more gloss. I expect the clue is in the neck pocket or under the s/p

TM Stevens?

If you don’t like the W logo someone on here got one with a Tesco value logo 😂

Apparently the tariffs had an impact on car sales 😂

You mean to say you guys don’t just spend your days drooling at all the pretty basses? I would in your shoes 😂

Sounds like Zelensky has backtracked and wants to sign trump’s deal. Can’t help but feel this will empower the US to continue their strategy of owning global natural resources and Ukraine will be simply handed over to Russia once their resources dry up.

Great to see the level of detail and planning
