I said I'd share my thoughts on social media, but also things that are lilac here.

@hpod16 Very cool bass. I have a collection of stringed instruments (I play most of them). I really want a double bass rather than a bass guitar, but space (and my wife) prohibit one at the moment. Looks like you have had quite a start and welcome to tbe fediverse too

@DefectiveWings it's a pretty cheap brand called Harley Benton, I got it on the popular online music shop Thomann
I wish there was a cooler story behind it. 💜

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@lasombra_br thanks!
I'm still working on sounding as cool as I look, but I got a pretty good teacher, I'll get there. 💜

Welcome to the Mastodon!

@hpod16 Baby steps! 🙌 keep going

Welcome to Mastodon @hpod16
I highly discourage playing double bass. But should you go down this rabbit hole, you better get a lilac one 😉

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@chillybot thank you! 💜 I can't believe how NICE people have been so far.

My flatmate Jan moved back to Berlin 15 years ago, but I still have the components for his Bucket Bass sitting in my workshop:

@paulh my apartment is too small for me to buy any more instruments, especially a double bass. (I'm looking for a bigger apartment) 💜

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@DoomsdaysCW Ohhh I love the Cure!
The bass line in lovecats... the fragility of Close to me...
I would pitch it for my band but I don't really see our lead singer doing it. She's more of a Norah Jones kind of woman. 💜

[doomsdayscw@kolektiva.social]

@hpod16 Norah Jones? Swoooon...! Lucky bass player!

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@RyanHyde @Rob
Oh my lord she's beautiful!
Does she have a name?

[doomsdayscw@kolektiva.social]

@hpod16 And some Cure songs sound wicked good with a female lead. Just saying... I've heard some brilliant covers!

[ryanhyde@techhub.social]

@hpod16 @Rob I’ve never been one to name objects, honestly. More power to you if you’re into that though - just doesn’t occur to me.

@hpod16 I hate to say it, but I'm a bassist and might be cool?

[rob@musicians.today]

@RyanHyde @hpod16 That's a lovely colour, Rayan, and I particularly like the pick guard. Very cool.

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@DarwinLovesBitcoin I also started a year ago! Just a hobby bassist myself too. My day job is social media manager. 💜

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@oliver nothing beats that deep deep sounds. Every time I amp up and hit the open E string, my heart melts

[djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology]

@hpod16@eupolicy.social @paulh@metalhead.club there's always these skinny ones like my Marshmallow Bass (an NS Design WAV Bass )
