Twincam Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Had a mini break from playing. As had zero enthusiasm. But got the urge to play again. So as I sold my bass before I ordered a cheap harley benton vintage jazz bass, still got my old amp. And I must say I'm so looking forward to getting back into it. I can't play well and have still a lot of learning to do but im really excited!. That break was just what I needed. Going to try put more effort into learning properly this time. And not being to hard on myself either even if I never get to the level I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Good man, a break can give you some focus on what you want to do. Have fun and enjoy learning new things. You know it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I stopped for about 18 months after years and years of playing and I came back feeling very rusty but with a better work ethic and I realised I had gotten very lazy and took it all for granted. I now have a far better regime..have gotten back everything I had before ( and some but with a lot more focus, but still I take a day out a week from touching the bass.....if I want to...and don't feel at all guilty. I do have a few things that I control better so I don't get burnt out again...so I only take the gigs that are worthwhile etc etc an I know better, myself, what I will put up with, ot not. Better management and you'll last longer, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I had ten years out..... Glad to be back now though Although first time around I seemed to be perfectly happy with one bass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
