If you wanna jump/run around the stage while playing.
Guitars have more melody/riff but as a bassist the playing is generally simpler you hav to keep time/rhythm.
So I wonder which is harder |

| | | | They're both really hard, and they're both really easy. |

yes, I know this post is as stupid as this thread. |

A stone guitar is definitely harder. |

Bassists have to memorize all the individual notes in all of those chords, and remember different ways to walk between them.

I actually bought one when I went hiking through the mountains of China a few years ago. I took lessons from some Chinese guy here. No, this is not me in the pic. But this little thing is a bi**h.
I am thinking about putting a pickup in it, wonder if a bartolini will fit. Or maybe I can play my bass with it like Nigel did his guitar with that violin in Spinal Tap. |
