For a guy who has bought and sold a lot of basses, I really have no significant bass talent. I just enjoy the whole bass thing -- learning, playing, buying, selling, trading -- all of it. I try to play for 1/2-2 hours a day.
My talents have really progressed quite a bit once I 'discovered' narrow string basses, particularly Pedulla's. Seems that was my 'missing link' for moving forward faster. Despite big hands, I like short movements, and never felt very good with 19mm basses.
By day I am a 'retired' slacker, but in real life I am a 'gentleman soybean farmer'.
