Strapping it on was worse.Good question, and possible so. Clearly a neck on an electric bass can be pretty narrow and work well. It's been so long since I played an DB I don't recall what they feel like. All I remember is getting a strap on that sucker was a pain.![]()
What’s a solo?![]()
Solo you almost can't hear it!My "solo" is the quiet parts of "Everybody wants to rule the World" which is just single notes, so yeah, I got that going for me.![]()
From you, anyway!seems like audiences are requesting bass solos more than in the past.....
I don’t really notice it. Maybe because I have so many wider neck Epi IVs?The large neck put me off of the new NR. Not that I can’t play it, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
Me too. I played 2012 NR and 2023 NR and I knew they would always be 2nd or 3rd choice due to the neck profile.The large neck put me off of the new NR. Not that I can’t play it, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
