Topic: Happy N(B)GD !!!

After thinking and talking about it for several months (and after recommendations from a friend of my son's and ZURF in this thread:  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16812 -- see post #4),
today I took the plunge and bought one of these:

Now all I gotta do is learn how to play the bloomin' thing.

Nom, it looks like everyone missed your post!  HAPPY N(b)GD!!!!!!  I think it should be celebrated, where's the beer and video?  big_smile

Re: Happy N(B)GD !!!

Good for you, NOM.  I have never heard an accoustic bass like that before.  Good luck with the learning.

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Happy N(B)GD !!!

Thanks all.


MKM:  No video yet.  (Notice I didn't say no beer.)  All I can do right now is plunk around on the root notes, which doesn't make for very exciting viewing.

Zurf:  Get one.  They were on sale at GC last weekend and may still be.  I got it for $300 (regularly $350).

Pete:  The bass sounds good.  A bit of buzzing from time to time, but it's probably my technique (or lack of it).

dino:  Thanks man.  Bass players look like they have a lot of fun.  Maybe one day I can call myself one.
