@oliver nothing beats that deep deep sounds. Every time I amp up and hit the open E string, my heart melts
@hpod16 Oh yeah - and seeing what people like Lemmy or Steve Harris did with the thing fortified my faith in the four-string-beast despite missing talent 😂

My #1 lilac thing: my bass guitar!If you know any cool bass players on Mastodon, point me their way!
I'm new here, and I also want to find my hobbies here!If you play another instrument, also come say hi in the comments!
Bass newbie reporting in! I picked it up because my kid plays electric guitar.

@hpod16 I usually play long-scale basses, but I found out, that playing a Rickenbacker body shape feels much more comfortable for me, than a Fender body shape. I'm also a small person with small hands and short fingers.
But for some time now, I've been toying with the idea of switching to a short-scale. And playing a short-scale is so damn easy. My fingers just fly over the strings :-)
@sAshA8H so why not make your life easy?
What I failed to mention, my first bass was also FRETLESS. I really didn't know what I was buying, and I made my life a lot harder than it needed to be. Switching to a short-scale has been 💜 🔥 -
1974 Ovation Magnum bass in its case on the floor of the band practice room. I have it strung B-E-A-D so it gets real low and probably stimulates vibe glands or something.
Long ago, a friend told me it was ugly. I was genuinely offended.
@clonedhuman your friend was wrong, that's a beautiful instrument. Love the warm wood!
Also on the tuning, how low can we go? -

@hpod16 hii, I'm playing bass, too, but I'm not posting about it here. Maybe I should change that 🤔
@agender_catling maybe you should! I did not expect this much reaction, but then again... the bass is objectively the coolest instrument, and lilac is the best colour, so... 💜

@hpod16 @mooseandriosmom I’m a synthesizer guy but I also have a Chapman Stick. Does that count?
@selgart @mooseandriosmom I have never seen one of these before! How many strings are on that thing? how does it sound?

@hpod16 Beautiful bass!
I've got a Fender Deluxe P-Bass and an Ibanez acoustic bass.

@adavid ohhh, don't get me started on harmonicas! When I realised you need one for every key, my collector heart went weeeeee!
Don't have one that's lilac yet though. 💜
I just like to buy cheap harmonicas when I travel, sort of as a souvenir. I have some teeeny tiny ones too! -
@hpod16 OMG I love your style !
You might need to complete your collection with the #plushtodon that looks more purple than blue in real lifehttps://shop.joinmastodon.org/products/mastodon-stuffed-toy-mini?variant=53632527565132
@hellgy we have a yellow plushtodon in the office, but I'm starting to think I need this.

@hpod16 Hi, I play acustic guitar . I play catholic song in Church. I'm not so able, because I stop 30 years ago, and play again on oct 15 last year. I'm 58 yo and its more difficult for me. But I trust in God. Namastè 🙏🏾

@steffimetal @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @derthomas
Well that is one rockin' bass if I ever saw one 🤘
I love this "let's show off our bass guitars" moment this thread has become. 💜 -
@hpod16@eupolicy.social @paulh@metalhead.club there's always these skinny ones like my Marshmallow Bass (an NS Design WAV Bass )

@hpod16 What made you want to play bass? For me it was the album Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins

@HailsandAles over-confidence, mainly.
I started a band with some friends and played the piano in said band. We didn't know any bassists, so I figured, my left hand is already doing the bass parts, how hard can it be if I just switch instruments?
Ummm... It's a lot harder to play than the keys, but the sound is so satisfying, I'm sticking with it. 💜As for songs:
Deathcab for Cutie's I will Possess Your Heart, and bad Karma from Miley Cyrus are a big inspo -
