I play 4-string electric bass. I sometimes diddle about on a 4-string accoustic bass but my hands still haven’t adjusted that well to it’s size in comparison to an electric bass guitar yet. I think if I’m serious I’ll go ahead n’ learn the 5 n’ 6 string bass too one day.
I mean sure – punk rawk is fun at first…. but after a while I get bored. I now play jazz combo improvisation. No not big band stuff like in schools. Lil’ combos. Ya know… a couple people n’ it’s all improvised. You wouldn’t believe how basic n’ easy punk rawk is compared to more creative forms of music.
Downside? I can’t have nails! I WANT NAILS! I’m fortunate enough to have such nicely shaped nails… but I can’t have ’em! Boourns.
