Oh while I am here, here is a conclusion for this thread. My grand-father's upright bass, I decided to buy a stand instead of putting it in the corner. I kept the instrument out of it's bag also, when I walk close to it, I play notes every day, very easily. So yea, having the instrument easily...

Thanks for all your answers on this tread, I read them all today (3 weeks later) I am building my mindset right now, my goals, I don't have any right now, the instruments just appeared in my basements and fortunately I listen to a lot of jazz and other music. The ecosystem is right. Playing...

@Wasnex I don't know what is going to happen with bass yet. I thought I would give up drumming then something happened, I took it out again and practiced every day to the point where I can now just sit and play along jazz pieces of music. Now that it's possible to do that, it's really really...

@Docduval I am happy to read this. :) @tubedude Ok, If I understand correctly, it's ok to practice the scales even if the bass is tuned 1/2 octave lower?. If there is not enough room for some of the lower scales, I skip those and play one similar 1 octave higher.

Well I am back after some time, and you know, to summarize my situation, I inherited a bass guitar and a double bass so I am learning how to learn how to play them. Natively I play drums as a hobby but I love bass as well, I can easily memorize basslines, I like to sing a basslines...

LOL are you kidding me?. I've got a pair of Bolero sticks right here, i hate these sticks!! they would make a good end pin. 🤣

That's cool, feel free to publish a picture of that wooden end pin, if you have time! I'd like to see it.

This thread never really took off 😅 but I arrived to some conclusion here. I thought that i could modify the bass to reach a sound close to the music but in fact using some distortion or something. I just dig the sound of the Precision Bass. If I get good at the bass I'll buy one someday...

Thanks again, I haven't taken any action yet for the end pin. I'll investigate it myself for sure and decide after if I fix it myself, I'll post pictures of the condition. I don't know when i'll dig into that project! but it's all set to do eventually. The bass has been in this condition for...

Thanks for all the opinions, I'll comeback eventually with news of my improvements, what worked what didn't work for me. 👍

I will play more with the settings on the AC 15 first and see after. She uses a lot of various devices. Thanks here!

Hello, I am captivated with that specific bass sound they used a lot in the 90 (and later), like on the album Celebrity Skin. On songs Celebrity Skin or Awful, it's basically the same bass sound. First I don't have a PB or a JB, I've got a dimension bass with 2 knobs only. The tone knob is not...

learning the 7 first frets, I like that for a first objective. I have to admit, I could learn with such a technique requiring a lower amount of processing but working with memory instead. Less logic initially and more memorization, I find this kind of a comfortable idea.

🤣 Sorry about that but no time of yours is lost. I have to give me small objectives at first. At worst, if I manage to play for only 30 seconds per day, it's already a win for me. I inherited the BG and DB while I was already practicing the drums, it's a lot of hobby, mixed with astronomy...
