Haha! Superb! I do have another chair next to this one that currently has no cushion!

I’m also having difficulty keeping my thumb in the center of the back of the neck - something that will help with the finger positioning. A bad habit I developed playing the guitar when I was a kid…

Ah, we had a recent thread about this, and you should not be trying so hard to do this with your thumb.
I cannot seem to find the thread, if anyone else has it handy please share.
It had a video from Ariane Cap and another guy on youtube about left hand position, it was super helpful.

As a total bass beginner, I wanted gear that I could live with a while. Went for the Yamaha TRBX174 in a beautiful metallic red finish, a nice wide strap, and a Fender Rumble 40. This bass plays and sounds like a much more expensive model so I’m really happy with it for now.

LOL, I already went through that with guitars, so I hope I’m immune. Of course if the right bass came along, well, it would be immoral to pass it up!

If that’s what I think it is I was looking at the haunted moss version yesterday. A fabulous instrument.
