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

[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 )

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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.

[oliver@metalized.net]

@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 😂

@hpod16

Bass newbie reporting in! I picked it up because my kid plays electric guitar.

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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 💜 🔥

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@clonedhuman your friend was wrong, that's a beautiful instrument. Love the warm wood!
Also on the tuning, how low can we go?

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@DaleOh @Neat_hot thanks for drawing my attention to this account about purple guitars!

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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... 💜

[acoollady@theatl.social]

@RyanHyde @Rob @hpod16 Ooh this is lovely. I’ve been thinking of replacing the P pickups in my Ibanez with MMs like yours

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@selgart @mooseandriosmom I have never seen one of these before! How many strings are on that thing? how does it sound?

[jratww@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 what a beautiful bass guitar! 💛

[vwbusguy@mastodon.online]

@hpod16 Beautiful bass!

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

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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@eupolicy.social]

@hellgy we have a yellow plushtodon in the office, but I'm starting to think I need this. 💜

[amministratore@parrocchie.masto.host]

@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 🙏🏾

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@sborrill @nnr80s awesome!
what's your favourite bass line right now?
