If you had to pick one?

I love that color (and the similar blue) so much.

TNKA36 · July 21, 2020, 7:38am

Very nice choice Eric.
Cheers Brian

Mine would have been guessable too. At least if it doesn’t have to be one I already own:

Not sure about 5 strings though. Would have to experiment with one.

my bongo. well actually my dream bongo, with single pickup in firemist gold.

eric.kiser · July 21, 2020, 8:36pm

I would love to play one of those.

This is one I found waiting for me on the desert island, right?

I’ll go with either the Adamovic Halo 5 string fretless hollow in blue.

Or perhaps the Fodera Emperor 5 fretless.

My simple little Lakland 55-02 … had it for a month and have NO idea how to play but keep on trying. Stupid little hands…

TNKA36 · July 21, 2020, 9:26pm

Great looking basses Dave.
I love purple so I’d go for that one on looks only.
Cheers Brian

Actually it’s more blue on a second look.
Very cool👍

I am 54 with zero music theory and I seem to get “lost” when the instructor starts calling out things that I don’t know.
Add to that that years ago I broke 5 bones in my left hand and stretching my pinky and pointer fingers is very narrow.
Thank you for asking!

Jamietashi · July 21, 2020, 9:34pm

Gerald I’m similar and a few others too you can find lots using the search or just ask

If I could have only one it would be one of my homemade 25.5" scale basses. Probably the one I’m working on now, I’m making a matching bass and guitar set… and since it would be a shame to break up the set I guess that means I would keep the guitar too.

TNKA36 · July 21, 2020, 9:35pm

If you watch Josh’s videos you will see he demonstrates different approaches for different styles of playing @Gerald_Anderson.
You can improvise with what works for you, sometimes it’s better to think about developing your chops and all the other stuff will come over time, I wouldn’t stress out to much about it, just enjoy yourself doing something you’re passionate about.
Cheers Brian

TNKA36 · July 21, 2020, 9:36pm

Can’t wait to see what this one looks as a finished bass @Korrigan.
Cheers Brian

Gerald_Anderson · July 21, 2020, 9:40pm

Thank you!

One bass to rule them all? Fender P in the PJ configuration.

Welcome to the forum! I have a Lakland 44-01, definitely my favorite of the three I own. You will be jamming before you know it on yours.
