So, I have a hearing loss in the low frequencies which makes it quite hard for me to hear the bass much of the time, but it's good to see that others have issues to. For me, its always hardest when the bass is sitting right underneath the kick drum, playing root notes. Blends right in. The...

OK, I'm sure this has been discussed to death somewhere, but the search feature isn't helping much. I'm very seriously considering pulling the trigger on the Rondo P bass starter package, since its just so stinking affordable, and I just want to make sure I'll enjoy playing the bass. I'm also...

Sounds cool. The "get both" idea sounds cool, and I can probably swing it finanically with the SX basses, but I would feel ridiculous buying two instruments right off the bat! How long has it taken most of you guys to get the intonation down when playing a fretless? If it takes years, I might...
