Topic: New Guitar Day

Finally made a decision on a bass guitar, an entry-priced one from CORT. Although not expensive, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound & playability of it, with active pickups, and both Jazz (neck) and P-Bass (bridge) style pickups on it. First play-a-long track I did with it was "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd.

The 2 acoustic guitars hanging on the wall were doing all kinds of harmonic resonation, so I had to wrap a cloth around the strings while playing the bass.

Re: New Guitar Day

YAY, Happy NGD TF.  Now you got me thinkin that maybe I "neeeed" an acoustic bass in my music room.

Re: New Guitar Day

If I ever get a bass I think some of the best song's to play would come off the Beatles Abby Road album.

Re: New Guitar Day

The world of bass guitar is all new to me, and it's been a fun couple of days already fooling with it. I've discovered that Jethro Tull's former bassist (the late John Glascock) was really good ... can't even get close to keeping up with him. I was trying to play along with their CDs "Songs From the Wood" and "Heavy Horses" this afternoon, and was relegated to listening most of the time.

Just loving the challenge of learning something new!
