NBD (New Bass Day)!
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:21 am
Had my first in-person bass lesson last night. In addition to the instructor working me hard, he's keeping my electric bass for a few days in order to do a full setup on it. I did my best setting the action and intonation but it's not up to his standards and needs some professional TLC.
In the interim, I have a loaner from him, and I also ordered a "U-Bass," which is basically a bass ukulele. They're affordable, sound killer good, and one will be a perfect fit for the mainly-acoustic open mic events where I'll be accompanying various acoustic players. Plus they're just cool and fun!

In typical fashion, thanks to my connection with the owners of the local music store, I didn't pay full retail. Mine should arrive this Friday. :side:
