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

@hpod16 I used to play clarinet, but man, it's been a long time...

@hpod16
Don't know if I'm cool, but I am transitioning from percussion to bass. I'm just getting to the point I have confidence to play stuff other than the root notes in my little band. Mostly play acoustic bass, but I've also got an electric fretless I bought by mistake.

@hpod16 welcome aboard! I'm a multi-instrumentalist including guitar and bass.

[grouchox@freeradical.zone]

@hpod16 fellow bass player here

@lechimp @hpod16 hi! Did you paint that bass yourself? It looks really cool

[xtaldave@social.vivaldi.net]

@hpod16 well hello fellow bassist. Love the lilac bass - looks great with the red tortoise shell pickguard 😄

[arratoon@beige.party]

@hpod16 That’s a lovely-looking bass.

@alice plays bass and guitar. And they’re an essential follow anyway.

I ‘play’ guitar and various iPad synth-type apps. Currently trying to stop myself from buying too many guitar pedals on Vinted.

...Another bassist here, with colored strings. My choice of brand was Strings by Aurora, as I liked their color selection, they seemed to have strings for longer necks than the ones I found on random online shops, and their web shop service was really friendly and helpful. Managed to order mine last year just before the tariff-countertariff-things went crazy.

@hpod16 hello! Lovely bass! I also play bass and I’ve started learning to play the banjo

[sborrill@justfollow.me.uk]

@hpod16 I play bass in @nnr80s

[hellgy@oisaur.com]

@hpod16 OMG I love your style !
You might need to complete your collection with the #plushtodon that looks more purple than blue in real life

@hpod16 @mooseandriosmom I’m a synthesizer guy but I also have a Chapman Stick. Does that count?

[wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hpod16 I used to play the bass and the drums. I "retired" (still have them but don't play since I no longer have a band and can't motivate myself without, so changed hobbies), but I'm still curious about all things music. So... hi, I guess. And welcome to Mastodon. :)

[agender_catling@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@hpod16 hii, I'm playing bass, too, but I'm not posting about it here. Maybe I should change that 🤔

@hpod16

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.

[tomek@mstdn.nrkn.fr]

@hpod16 Hey, welcome here! 🥳
Mostly guitarist, but playing other instruments in various musical projects.
You can check @fallsavalanche for more infos.
PS: your bass is awesome!

@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 :-)
