Muchas gracias, @red_rhino !

So I picked up the bass today (the shop kept it to go through it thoroughly, clean up the staticky pots, etc). I did not get the story straight regarding this bass the day I went to the shop with a friend to help her get her late husband's guitar sorted out (anyone interested in a Casio MG-510...

That last paragraph describes EVERY guitar purchase I’ve ever made (though not because of strings), @red_rhino . I have 5 electric guitars of which NONE is 100% original. Four of them have had pickups swapped; the other only the addition of a coil tap. Definitely dig the suggestion of light...

Gracias, @foal30 !

So here’s my noob question for y’all regarding my Tobias passive bass: What type of strings are recommended for a guitarist who’ll primarily be using the thing to record basic bass tracks for my hobbyist recording? Since it’s passive I wonder how it’ll play with my audio interface. I always got...

Thanks, @MonetBass ! I'm pretty stoked. It's definitely gonna take some getting used to as the neck and fretboard on my Sterling Ray 4 felt more like they were from a guitar than a bass. But that's the fun of new gear!

Thanks, @Malcolm35 ! Ya, once I get "settled in" here (moving the rest of my "stuff" over next month) I plan on dedicating a LOT more time to making music.

This just in from the “it’s a small world” desk here at TalkBass: Ishibashi Music in Japan is selling a 5-string Tobias on Reverb from the same generation as mine. The serial number is only a few digits away from the one I bought here in Spain! Nuts! Tobias Bass 5 Strings Passive Trd (05/18) |...

Thanks, @buldog5151bass ! Ya, with this recent bass purchase I'm good in this category (for now). I'm on the hunt for some stuff to round out a small electronic percussion setup for recording. While I'm stateside I'll be checking there.

Thanks, @Sub41! I'm in Valencia, where the humidity apparently never goes below a thousand percent! Beautiful city. I've only been here a few months but am glad I made the move. Looking forward to seeing much MUCH more of Spain!

What a great legacy! Clearly your dad did a great job in his primary role. All us dads hope to do as well!

Bienvenido!

Welcome, @FraliuBass! Your location reminded me how much I miss Rhode Island oysters. Good thing I'll be stateside soon. Will need to make a pilgrimage!

So I primarily play guitar (waits patiently for the boos and hisses to subside), but once I started doing home recording I figured it was time to pick up a bass and join the dark side (or come into the light, depending on one's perspective). The first bass I owned was a Sterling SUB Ray 4 -...
