Lysdexia Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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.

LITTLEWING Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysdexia Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 A final thought - bass is better than sex. And, if it's not, you're doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
