Hello fellow Bassists. This is a very important subject and dilemma that we all go through. Here is a short list of common situations many of us face.
(a) Most of the time it is a financial decision that helps determine the range of Basses available within ones budget.
(b) Sometimes 'that' bass is already in our hands but for reasons of condition, repairs needed or set-up issues, its optimum capabilities are not fully realized.
(c) Then again, on occasion it is more of a matter of choosing which of the Basses you already own is going to be 'The One'!
(d) Some other reason entirely or a combination of the above...
I have gone through this problem so much lately that I spend more time on picking a bass that I already have than practicing any one of them which is worse than even playing the wrong bass..
So, lets discuss this very common problem that almost all of us have had at one time or another for one or more of the above reasons.
Let's call this 'Bass choosing' therapy class..
