drippy cat Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Just wanted to say hi. Been playing the squealy 6 strings for decades but fairly recently the bass. I'm beginning to realise just how much fun it is and how much there is to know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Plenty of skinny stringed refugees have made their way to the lower clef to find the joy of bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drippy cat Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Oh, go on then.... Must admit, the low B really messes with my head after so many years with a low E. I also must admit, what a nice welcome people get around here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how we lure you in, wait until we fire up the pot with aromatic vegetables for ‘Ex-guitarist Stew’. What, we don’t do that anymore? Look, just because I peed in the broth when you tried to poach me is no reason not to try again with others who might not ‘leak’ as much; no fair! 😩 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr... I didn't go that far! The reason I have a 5 strings bass is because I think I might be somewhere in betweeen 4 and 6. Bi-stringual, if you need to stick a label on me (flounces off and picks up his ukulele to the horror & confusion of all.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t want the rile up the locals and have them digging out their flaming torches and pitchforks. Head over to Guitar Chat for skinny stringed talk, there’s a few of us there too, but keep it on the QT. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you can, but it not being top B will mess with my head even more than having a B string where a low E should be whe world makes sense.
