badger Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 greetings muscular-stumped bass (wo)men. I am a moderately-bad guitarist from Surrey who bought a Squier Affinity P bass for some bedroom recording, because fewer stings, how hard can it be, right? 😉 I now find myself picking up the bass more than the guitar, getting interested in theory, learning where the notes are on the fretboard & also owning a nice 32" scale CV Jag. 😁 4 Quote
nilorius Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 Best regards Badger and keep the interest active ! 1 Quote

(and i don't mean the band) I went to see them in about '94 & they were pretty good as I recall (yikes - 29 years ago 😲). haven't tried the other type, although it would probably be cheaper. 1 Quote

I saw them live at about the same time. They're from Larne, about 20 miles up the road from me, so i don't know why I haven't seen them more often. Quote
