I hate playing bass .

I've been stuck in a rut for a long time now, but im trying to force myself into playing 5 minutes a week.

That could be my squiers sucky feel and the lack of a good bass amp though

Sorry to hear this. I know how you feel about the Squier. Up until not too long ago a Squier was all I had and it didn't do much for my motivation. Then I got a new bass and I was much happier.

I hope you really don't hate playing bass (if you did would you be here?). Being in a rut may make you feel that way. It's a terrible feeling, I know, but it will pass. Time to look at your practice routine, make a list of goals you want to accomplish. You need something new in your bass life and/or a challenge. If this doesn't work and you still feel you hate playing bass then maybe a break away from it will do you good then you can come back fresh.

Good luck.
