My First Electric!

Have fun RL :-) Amplified sound is a whole new world.

Thanks Cytania and Bootleger.    Yeah, Adam at the store already lowered the action a bit for me.  Might get him to lower it a tad bit more today after my lesson.  Man, am I having fun with this.  Sooo much easier to play.  (although I've been sick the past two days and haven't played much) My husband was fooling around on it the other day.  Having a great time doing some bass lines.  Sounding like Pink Floyd etc.  He said he might like to get a bass.  He currently has a Tabla type drum, tambourine and chicken shake to play along with me.  Sooooo.....yesterday I had to swing by the shop to pick up a stand for my new "baby".  I got talking to the manager about a bass.  Well they had this sweeeet deal on a box kit.  Comes with a Fender Squire Jazz Bass, Fender bass amp, strap, gig bag (Paul figured that must be filled with two bottles of axe deodorant spray, rolling papers and pen and paper to write down all the "babes" numbers, well I laughed when he said that), bass tuner, instructional DVD and cord.  Got it for $309 plus tax. Got him a stand as well and we're off to the races.  I phoned him at work when I got home.  Told him I did something crazy and he actually guessed that I bought him a Bass.  I guess we know each other pretty well.  He was so happy and very excited when he got home last night.  Said the song, "Big Bottoms" from Spinal Tap kept running thru his head all day.  Told him it was in mine too!  I said I also wanted to paint the number 11 on his volume control.  LOL  Now I need to find some Bass tabs for him to some or all of the tunes I already know. 

I agree.  With the acoustic I have to take a day off in between sometimes, from the pain.  I also cook allot, so my hands are in water constantly.  Makes it hard to keep the callouses in tune.  I'm hoping the Electric will make it a little easier.  All part of the fun of playing though, right?  Cheers!
