What to do?

I have a bass, that Í`m not sure about what to do with.
It is an fretless one 5 string Ibanez "Gary Willis" named as it is, beautiful bass and with great sound. Holy Black beauty, I call this sensation.

Why? You healthy asked. True! But the things is I`m a soul man and times I find this beauty not fit in, so to speak.

Any comments?

Greetings and welcome to Talk Bass, Wonderman!

Its always a tough decision to sell off a bass in anticipation of a new one, especially if you're attached to its sound and its look.

But at the same time, it is a tool and having the proper tool for the job is important. In my case, I tend to buy new tools for new jobs, but I can't get rid of the old ones. If you can manage, why not keep it and also get your self a bass that can do what you want.

I'd suggest a nice Precision or Jazz would do you well.


As a Norwegian soul man, do you know of a band called Napoleon Solo?

They were on Blue Beat Records and put out very nice soul/ska. If you haven't, you should check them out.

BTW, you do better in English than most of us would do in Norwegian.
