Members wagdog Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 And I will never, ever, complain about the action on an electric guitar again. What a blast though, always wanted to try one. Dude had one at a jam today and let me play it. Scale length was, um, LONG, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dega500 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I can barely make one make a sound. Lot's of respect for those players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude had one at a jam today and let me play it. Scale length was, um, LONG, lol. I've played a lot of electric bass, but a few years ago I had to start practicing standup bass to be prepared as a sub for a regular gig I did on guitar. It was a painful couple of weeks for my left hand. Never got the call, but I felt good I could rip through a couple of four chord Norwegian folk tunes and be almost in pitch most of the time. If I had more free time and money I'd definitely buy one and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeftyTom Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 So, after that hour, did you play a clarinet in a chair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play one in a band 20+ years ago...I'm not the best guitarist by any means but I was shocked at how easy the stand up bass was for me(I started as a bassist). This is probably why I just don't get it when people freak out about having to play a guitar with different scale length or neck shape/size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that they aren't inexpensive.I wouldn't mind owning one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members deanmass Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got my NS NXT upright out the other day to record a fretless bass track after 6 months of notplaying it. It was ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members deanmass Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't av room to leave it out, or I would. I love it, but it is a big adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played mostly a 1 5 kinda country thing, with an occasional attempt at some walking/passing/chromatic notes that sounded more like a bowling ball rolling down a short flight of stairs.
