Didn't get as much as I had hoped, but at least I know it will end up in a good home eventually.

Perhaps this Ibanez line is the weapon of choice for us pretend bassists? Also I agree with you on the sound - I like those active pickups and it's great for metal.

I get by, but I just canโ€™t use my fingers, Iโ€™m too uncoordinated. Iโ€™m sure that using a pick is quite discernible to someone who is a real player. There are a number of excellent guitarists on the other hand that donโ€™t use a pick. Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth spring to mind immediately.

Nice! Not being a true bass player I figured four strings would be enough of a challenge.

At least you understand how much they differ. I occasionally play guitar as well and I fear how actual guitarists might perceive that.

I try to play bass. Iโ€™m sure any real bassist would be laughing hysterically at me trying to play bass like it was a guitar. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I purchased a Fender Jazz bass in 2022 that Iโ€™ll be keeping. The Ibanez was just a bit too harsh sounding to me, probably well suited for metal, but not for what Iโ€™ve been doing. The Fender is much more versatile.

Youโ€™re going to love the bass line in Be My Girl. It was insane playing at 135bpm. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I havenโ€™t played it since I purchased my Fender Jazz bass a few years ago, and it seemed pointless to have it just sitting around. It was actually too harsh for my tastes as well, more suited for metal I think. Most of my guitars are going on sale over the next while, I just canโ€™t justify having so many guitars anymore given the state of the arthritis in my hands now.

I'm hoping some day to give a friend who's in a few bands a tour of my guitar den and see what he thinks. I may want to sell or donate some.
