    Music: You loved/you can no longer stand - you couldn't stand/you love

    Says the individual that came in and stunk up my thread. You offered no advice, just, petty, passive aggressive statements and when I replied to your thread with the exact same words you did to mine, you realize how stupid you sound and have to be a strong boy and ignore me. Real men ignore...

    How long?

    You interested? Otherwise your just posting to read your own comments at this point. You came in, left your piece which didn't answer a question and didn't give any advice. Thanks for your contribution.

    Music: You loved/you can no longer stand - you couldn't stand/you love

    Sounds like your passion is gone and you should move on and stop listening.

    How long?

    No, I'm not. My sentiment towards bass is exactly the same as yours. I'm simply having trouble finding that enjoyment lately.

    How long?

    Idolization of those 70s rockstars. As a distraction from life. To learn something new. A way to relieve some stress in my basement. Bass was always the key to music for me before I even knew what it was. Hearing all the same songs but now in a different way was what really hooked me. Now it all...

    How long?

    How long have you made it before hitting your wall, a roadblock in your mental state that keeps you from wanting to play? What are some ways you've overcome those? I started playing over three years ago. In that time I've learned alot, bought more instruments than anyone truly needs and really...

    A Pink Squier… This is a First for Me

    9/10 times I don't like Laurel boards. This is 1/10 that I can genuinely say looks nice. It has some life to it.

    A Pink Squier… This is a First for Me

    I have no problem rocking a pink bass. I occasionally rock my shell pink fender shirt and it would match this nicely. Looks like you need a new shirt, or I need a new bass.

    Sweetwater has changed.

    Maybe, I'm not really here to say. What I did want to add was that if I'm not wrong, the pre-order is just an entry into a queue. You don't get charged and they should call you when it is available to confirm the purchase and then you will be charged. If they charged you without permission, than...

    Which Fender Jazz in Japan?

    I don't think you can go wrong on any of them quality wise. Play as many as you can and see what stands out to you. I will say I don't have much knowledge of the Japanese exclusive models as they rarely if ever get promoted here. I do have some knowledge on the quality and they stack up to an...

    Wife approved me to buy another bass… why have I not bought it? Am I ok?

    As someone with nine basses that mainly plays one maybe three on a good weekend, it's not about the hunt but finding the right one. You'll know when you have. I don't hunt much these days anymore. CME had a used 2024 4003 Jetglo for $1,500. That was definitely a good deal to whoever got it.

    One Direction...

    I find playing new and different genres of " music " as a bass player are what makes you beautiful! Also, good luck. You're about to become alot more beautiful.

    Seeking Recommendations: Best 5-String Bass for Jazz, Música Tropical, R&B/Soul, Hard Bop & Hip-Hop

    As much as I want to recommend the Jazz, I'm not sure I can with how poorly the B string sounds on many of them. I would highly suggest playing in person if you can and decide to go with that option.

    Where are you getting your strings these days?

    I play alot of Flats so the occasional time I order new strings, it's from Amazon. I already have an account and the shipping is free. I've never had an issue receiving what I ordered. Personally, I say get them wherever they're cheapest.
