It is a great guitar. It takes very little effort to play. It is also incredibly light and balanced.

I did a bit of organizing in my studio today, and found good use for these guitar headstock coat hooks. Perfect for hanging my bows:
They’re perfect for hanging hats too:

Lol it would appear so. However, I’ve only purchased two of them. The first was a carbon fiber, and then I wanted to try a genuine wood bow, so I bought a brazilwood bow. The other two were included when I purchased my acoustic upright: one carbon fiber and the other wood (both very nice bows)…

I’ve posted this in another thread, but I’ll post here again for visibility and hopefully I can help some “ampless” bass players like myself!
I wanted a practice space where I could do mainly two things well and fast:
- Pick up my bass and just play to a backing track at any time of the day;
- Sit down and have a proper practice session.
What I use for this both cases is a:
- Old Macbook Air;
- Scarlett Solo Audio Interface;
- ATH-M40x headphones;
- Amplitube 5.
P.S.: yes, I don’t have an amp!
Pick up my bass and just play to a backing track at any time of the day (solution):
Since I live in a teeny-tiny apartment, I have a shelf where I have the equipment listed above and my bass right beside to it:
I have a shorter cable that connects the audio interface with the Macbook. The bass cable is on the side of the shelf (see last picture of this post):
Sit down and have a proper practice session (solution)
When I want to sit down for some time and really practice or record a video, what I do is I get my newer Macbook and just connect it to the audio interface and sit on the sofa next to the shelf (I have a little table where I put the Macbook so it’s right in front of me).
For this scenario, the original audio interface cable is too short! That’s why I have right besides the shelf two cables: a longer audio interface cable and a 6 meters bass cable:
So everything that I need to do is just:
- Plug the longer cable;
- Use the newer Macbook.
Conclusion
Everything in here is pretty much 100% ready to just plug the bass and play. I can do lessons, listen to music and play at the same time, etc.
For a casual practice session, I have everything ready in 3 minutes. For the longer section, it can take more or less 7 minutes to have everything ready.
I hope this helps! Thank you for reading!

The cave is still being updated. You wouldn’t even think I was a bass player 
How it started -
Lots of space to move about, couple of synths and the upright etc.
Of course, that’s all changed now…
How it’s (currently) going -
I, er, don’t seem to know how to stop!

Yeah, you always start out thinking you have infinite space, and suddenly poof … it’s all gone.
Nice room!

I know, it’s not fair is it! I need to start carrying a tape measure on me when I’m out and about to ensure I can fit whatever I’m looking at into that room
Maybe a shortscale jazz bazz. Ooo, that might work!

I tell myself that… we have 4 of us in just over 800 square feet. No real garage space and lost my music room when we moved here. Yet somehow, there’s 20+ guitars and basses, 4 amps and about 5 pedalboards in every nook and crannie of the nethers with only 2 out on instrument stands at any given time. At least my boys can’t shove anything under their beds!! It’s already occupied. Lol

Yes, there’s a reason there are two guitar stands folded and tucked under the family room TV, and a drum throne hiding under our dining room table. Our master closet contains two bass cases, and you can find something music related in just about every closet, drawer, nook & cranny in our house.
