Brut666 Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Good morning everyone that reads this and everyone that doesn't. What a lovely rainy day down I the south of England today 🙄 I wanted to play bass for absolute years but never really was committed enough. So beginning of march I brought myself a very cheap £60 encore E4 to test the waters. Since I've brought it I've fitted two different sets of strings and had it completely set up to as near perfect as possible. I've also managed to get worse at playing it so started taking lessons, two down now still biblically bad. None the less I look forward to being good enough to move on to my next bass. Thanks for reading and have a great day Matt 5 Quote
dutchwife Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Welcome aboard Matt. Love "Biblically bad", very nice. Also noticed your cut-and-paste post elsewhere. Rest assured that you're better off at BassChat 😉 What's the next bass going to be? Quote

Rest assured that you're better off at BassChat 😉 What's the next bass going to be? Well let's see.... He has the choice of 4,5, or even 6 strings...Fretless, fretted, slanted frets...fitted with roundwounds, flatwounds or tapewounds... Needless to say you've probably put a strain on his bank balance and, in the not too distant future, his long term relationship. They'll probably name you in divorce proceedings. Way to go... 😉😉 2 Quote
Geek99 Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I’ve had a bass thirty years and I look forward to “biblically bad” as a far distant milestone, much as Prince Harry looks forward to “original thought” as just such a milestone 1 Quote

Richard R Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Welcome aboard. Sorry I missed your post the first time. How's the practice going? I started a few years ago and was dire for months, bad for a while and am now tolerable. But enjoy myself and keep up with the band most of the time 😁 1 Quote
msb Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Lessons might prevent some bad habits from getting ingrained. I’ve somehow managed to retain some. Welcome! Some may well think it’s madness , but it’s not a bad way to go. 2 1 Quote
