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

@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... 💜

@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.

@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!

@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 🙏🏾

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

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

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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. 💜

[paulh@metalhead.club]

@djsundog @hpod16 yes, the EUB.
I've got a BSX Allegro, which still has a bit of an acoustic sound. Works very well on stage, never feedback issues ✅

@aCoolLady @RyanHyde @Rob @hpod16 This 玉子 (Tamako), my 2000 Ernie Ball StingRay piezo fretless #bass

[hailsandales@metalhead.club]

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

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@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

[hailsandales@metalhead.club]

@hpod16 Nice! Well welcome to the Fediverse.

[ruverb@musicians.today]

@hpod16 Sick bass! 👍

[ruverb@musicians.today]

@RyanHyde @hpod16 @Rob That pickguard is amazing!

[strayadult@mstdn.social]

@hpod16 It definitely changes your relationship to music by far. I agree.
Well thank you! Both my wife and I are fans of purple so it works out, lol.

[kabukiaddicted@mastodon.social]

@hpod16

Nice to see other musicians around!
Not a bassist, but I play other instruments and love music ❤️
