Newbie Greetings!

Greetings!

 

A quick introduction... I've not long picked up a bass after a, erm... long time, probably 30 years or so. I've basically forgotten everything I ever knew, which to be fair wasn't actually much back then. Anyway, I've decided to make a proper go of learning to play it this time so I bought myself a cheap bass (a Harley Benton JB-75MN) and an even cheaper amp (a Subzero 15W practice amp) to get me moving in the right direction.

Hi Grizz. I got myself a cheap HB fretless (Sunburst JB75FL) to try out fret-free playing. I love the guitar. 😀

How you getting on with fretless? I love my HB, in fact I've been looking at the JP-550P (5 string) in natural. Someone once said to me that learning on a 4 string is good but if I move to a 5 string, it's like learning all over again so before I go too far, I should look at getting a 5 string.

Slowly but surely. I'm not currently working on songs that need a fretless sound, so it's very much a spare time project.

 

I also occasionally play a 5 string and I wouldn't go as far as to say it's like learning all over again. It's just remembering there's an extra string, and making use of it. 😀
