    I have no desire to play walking bass. Tips?

    Why not try what you propose? Record yourself playing the suggested rhythmic bass line using soloing concept than overdub your solo solo. How does it sound?

    Who do you usually recommend?

    With that budget, I’d spend 1/3 on the bass and 2/3 on the amp.

    Speaking of burnt basses… this is amazing! Agree?

    Too busy for me. No go.

    NBD Fender ‘58 AVRI

    Good looking bass / good looking strap. What’s the use of the piece of wood? To hold the window?

    NBD SS GRETSCH TORINO GREEN

    My preference is when switch in the middle with both pickups selected. A pro might be able to chime in on how to best describe the sound. Definitely a fun bass to play.

    NBD SS GRETSCH TORINO GREEN

    Good looking bass - I got the same model in a Tobacco burst colour. It is a great bass, the pickups are quite loud, the neck is comfortable, string spacing generous.

    Bass VI: best selling BASS guitar of 2022!

    You are right - the shell chords (I wasn’t familiar with this term) sound pretty good. Cool instrument, the bass 6.

    Bass VI: best selling BASS guitar of 2022!

    If you play jazz chords, they can sound pretty good anywhere along the neck. But I hear what you are saying about shell chords. A big fat G chord does not sound that great on bass 6.

    Your choice

    Try and pick up a bass you like. Get biggest amplifier you can afford.

    New/reissue bass gear ideas that you think would have MASS APPEAL

    A small compartment on the back the bass where a person could keep those small adjustment tools could be handy.
