Picked up a bass!
Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2023 12:51 pm
Hi all,
I did used to play bass in the late 90s and did a bit of gigging in a covers band with a Marshall amp and a Fender Precision Bass. Sold up early 2000s and did nothing until last year when I got a few 6-string. That's what I want to learn badly, but I still have a bass hankering so decided to get myself a present at weekend. Also, I'm hoping it will start to stretch my fingers a little and make MG69 Mustang easier to play!
Opted for a Höfner Ignition Special Edition Violin Bass in Sunburst as I found them beautiful to handle, lightweight, and I like the short scale. Also a big Beatles fan too, so that sound hits me, plus this bass is still quite versatile too. I also bought an Orange Crush Bass 25 as it's perfect for my current ambitions.
