Hey hey,

Sarah from the land down under.
Just started learning bass and absolutely love it. Does anyone else struggle with self control when it comes to buying more basses? :rofl:

Hi from France, @aussie_seza ! Welcome aboard.

What’s “self control”?

I bought a Fender Jazz 14 years ago when I started playing again. I injured my left shoulder falling on ice. Bought a short scale Gibson SG. Now I have around 20 short and medium scale basses. And a PRS guitar arrived via UPS this morning.

So, no, I don’t struggle with self control at all. :rofl:

It’s the thing that lets you settle for a two thousand dollar bass rather than a custom Mayones. :wink:

I have a tone knob, I don’t think there is a self control knob

I told myself I’m not allowed to buy a second one until I’ve been playing for 6 months. It’s been 4 months. I’m already thinking about what I’m going to get …

I’ve been playing for one year. I’ve purchased 6 basses, and sold 2.
