Oh I had one of those bassists who played a 5 string. smh He pulled his pants up to his ears but goddamn he was good. I'm running around jumping and stuff and he just stood there
Seriously, there's some good bassists out there. I've known a few. On the other hand, you can usually get someone up to speed (to be passable) pretty quickly. So, it's not too hard to get someone who will do. I can play a bass with some alacrity but I've never taken a single formal lesson. Fortunately, I've got tab!
I've amassed a bit of bass gear. I'm a sucker for someone's used equipment. I swear to fucking god, people stop here instead of going to a pawn shop to sell their used shit. The good news is that I have enough gear for a good jam session. As we've mentioned before, my only saving grace is I dislike clutter. I've got way too much stuff, but it's organized!
Tomorrow, I'm going down to drop a guitar off for cleaning and truss rod adjustment. I'm so not doing that myself. If I behave myself - I won't come back with anything new. Unfortunately, I have to go back and pick it up next week - which means I'll be in his shop twice. He mentioned a 1953 00-18 (Martin) but didn't give me a price, thankfully. I'll probably play it and put it back in its case. Hopefully...

5 strings is too many for most bassists!
