the fattest string is usually the E string, but sometimes it is a B

[Yank]

To quote Jaco- Acoustic upright bass is too much effort for too little return. Go electric.

Playing or fishing?

big fish

Its like a big guitar... generally played by the least cool person out of a group of mates that decide to form a band.

Best played with your fingers.

[Lysdexia]

Well.

I thank you all for the replies, but the SubWoofer riposte from Lowhand is a very (very) obvious winner of sorts. Even though there was no competition.

And to clarify the outcome from my original question - I ended up getting a Starcaster.

I ended up being a bass player because the first time we ever went to a recording studio someone had to play bass. The other guitarist had a Fender Strat (I didn't) so that was it - demoted undemocratically because I had a sh*tey guitar.

I'm still not over it.

Helps if you played ordinary guitar, after that bass is a doddle.

Listen to loads of music, attempt to play every style.

Play at least 15 mins a day. (Keep this quiet but I take mine in when I have a poo)

.....ah....maybe TMI.....

[Raslee]

Bass...easy to get into, harder to get out off ....and expensive

[Skybone]

Apparently, it's all about that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble.

A final thought - bass is better than sex.

And, if it's not, you're doing it wrong.

Dunno about that... I'm consideribly better at playing bass than I am at sex though... 😐
