Hi Bro's,
Wow, after my EB-3 collected dust for 15 years, I sold it to get by for
one more month of slow income.
I had no idea how hard that would hit me.
I hadn't really played it for 15 years, and the people I met of my age group had given up and moved on, just like the friends of Jack Black in
The School of Rock.
That Gibson sold for a good price, so I had some cash and got a new OB20-Delta King,
it has a Gibson style sound, and I'm a better handyman than musician, so no problem adjusting out it's problems. I dig the semi-hollow body look and I can hear it unplugged too.
Since then I've gotten an SX Jazz bass and defretted it, two accoustic basses and defretted one of those too. I'm reaching for a double bass sound, and use Fender tapewound strings on all.
It's hard to keep motivated as a player because as I said, musicianship just doesn't impress middle aged people, and I need this to lead me to new friends and good times, RIGHT!
Any useful info from you will be appreciated.
Thanks! Bill
