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

I said I'd share my thoughts on social media, but also things that are lilac here.
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!
My flatmate Jan moved back to Berlin 15 years ago, but I still have the components for his Bucket Bass sitting in my workshop:

Welcome to Mastodon @hpod16
I highly discourage playing double bass. But should you go down this rabbit hole, you better get a lilac one 😉@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 I used to play bass (I was in a Cure cover band). Now I just DJ. But I love music and love that your bass is lilac! 💜
@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. 💜 -

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

@hpod16 I’m only a hobbiest bassist that got started way too late (a year ago) after my eldest daughter picked up guitar (and rapidly soared to heights I will never reach).
This is Tiffany. A cheap-as-hell Peavey Milestone III that I love…another sign I am destined for the low end 🤣.
Thanks already to everyone who provided some great follows. I am always interested in what people who know what they’re doing are doing. 🎸@DarwinLovesBitcoin I also started a year ago! Just a hobby bassist myself too. My day job is social media manager. 💜

@hpod16 One of the most divine instruments - the four-string! 🤘🏻
@oliver nothing beats that deep deep sounds. Every time I amp up and hit the open E string, my heart melts

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

@hpod16 I played drums for over a decade when I was younger. Still can hear primarily drums in songs too and know where they're hitting/timing, lol.
@strayadult
learning instruments (again) as an adult changed how I listened to music. And the bass was a revelation, for sure.
PS: love that your profile pic is purple, imma follow that. more purple in my timeline pls. 💜 -

@hpod16 welcome! Sax player here. Tried bass sax once, but low Bb would kill me in 3 seconds so I hoard smaller versions now.

@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 😂

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?

@evan yes. Until I turn over my US citizenship I am voting.

@evan given it's nigh on impossible to renounce US citizenship and stop paying taxes.
The argument is that the rich would flee the country.
To which I ask, for where?
The Emirates? Where citizenship is bought and can be removed at the whim of a royal? To China, where the Politburo understands you keep the rich on the shortest of leashes? To the UK, who opened their doors to Russian gangsters who shiv, poison, and defenestrate?

imo you vote in one place based on where your "home" is. I get that this can be complicated in some instances.

@hart
At least the Gestapo had uniforms that identified them as Gestapo members; they did not walk the streets "disguised" as civilians. Nor did the Gestapo shoot people in the open street. That was more likely to be the SS. Right, the guys with the skull and the two "Blitz-S" on their uniform.
