Unplanned NBD

[Mack_dm]

I’ve been looking for a new bass off and on for a bit. While on vacation in Wilmington, NC I stopped by Music Loft thinking that I would try a couple basses that I’ve not been able to play before because my local shops didn’t carry those brands. I had zero intention of buying one while on vacation. (My other half knew me better.)

This was the first time I was able to play a multi-scale bass, let alone a Mayones or Dingwall. I’ve been having joint problems for some time now and thought I’d see if it made a difference. Chase(?) suggested I try the Ibanez EHB1005MS. I thought no way am I going to get some 80’s style headless bass. I was wrong. After continuing to try a slew of other basses I kept going back to it. It was close between it and a Combustion but the Ibanez felt the best when I was having a bad joint day. Without further adieu…

Congratulations. Cool that you found a bass that is better for your joints.

Congrats! I imagine that would be a super comfy bass to play.

Thanks. I hadn’t mentioned anything to him when I was checking things out. I wanted to see what there was without having suggestions based solely on what isn’t an everyday problem. Luckily/unluckily I was having a bad joint day when I went back the next day. It just reaffirmed that it was the right bass. I’m still considering one of the Warwick limited editions they have there.

Congratulations. Cool that you found a bass that is better for your joints.
