Is there a process you go through to 'get to know' a rented/borrowed bass before the gig?
I have had several encounters of late with basses other than my own and I feel kinda lacking in the confidence to try stuff when I first start playing it. How do you expedite this?
After checking out the height, sound and feel of the open strings, and the ergonomics of the neck and body the next thing I listen for is the sound and feel of A flat on the E string.
