Simonafloat Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hi all, been playing the big guitar for over 30 years on the same squier jazz that i bought second hand on my 19th birthday... used to gig regularly but these days i just jam occasionally with some old bandmates. Never had lessons, switched to fingerstyle about 25 years ago, got stinky poo technique but it'll do! Hate showboat bass playing, for me its an ensemble instrument. I'm a carpenter and i'm going to be asking all sorts of questions about building my second bass guitar from a kit or from scratch.. cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Welcome Simon Only one bass in over 30 years??? I'd like to see you keep that up... Check out the Build thread for inspiration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Nice intro, Simon, good work. There are some great builders here on BC, who are always willing to share their experience. As for one bass in 30 years, the Gear Acquisition Collective here will be doing its best to change that . Dive in and enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those thing f***ing kill. The necks are great! I still have my first bass - a white 1986 (I think) Squire Jazz. Throw some fancy dan pickups in they’re unbeatable value.
