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!

@hpod16 I know some nice people who happen to be bass players... @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @steffimetal come to mind.

@hpod16 You said you came here to learn about Mastodon, so I'm going to write this. I'd usually shut it and scroll on: this is Mastodon. We don't have to fight for engagement here. Your post reads like you're trying to get as much reach, as many likes, as many comments as possible. That doesn't matter here. Just have a conversation with us :)

So, just ask the questions. I do play the guitar, though I am still learning very slowly. It's blue :)

@derthomas @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @steffimetal
Awesome, thanks for the tips!
I've followed them all :)

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@rootsandcalluses
Thanks for the feedback!
My day-job is community manager, so perhaps it's become second nature for me to write in the most engaging way.
I'll bear it in mind. Appreciate the honesty!

nice PJ bass!

[rootsandcalluses@mstdn.social]

@hpod16 I could tell :D That's why I mentioned it.

Someone with a bass (and outfit!) this cool is someone I want to follow. But I am allergic to engagement-fishing :D

@hpod16 are you aware of fedi starter packs? There are some for bands and musicians, you can follow the whole "pack" with one click. Check out @Kitty 's profile, the links should be there.

Edit: check out Kitty's website https://dasmetalkitty.neocities.org/

Edit 2: here's the starter pack I mentioned. It's metal themed but not exclusively metal

Hi @hpod16,
I‘m Steffi and a bass player too! Your lilac bass and look are awesome!
When I found out that there are colored strings I had to try them (I had black, white and pink)😃
Right now I play black strings on my black bass 🖤

@sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked

Thank you @derthomas for tagging me 😊 and showing other bass players!

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 I know Rudy Gardea @rudygardea , my fellow Loopser, who plays electric guitar.

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 and personally, I play flute (Native American flute and Tin whistle), and handpan.

[sasha8h@troet.cafe]

@hpod16 Hi Hannah :-) and welcome to Mastodon.

Wow! What a cute bass! I love that colour! Is it a short scale?

[Guest]

@hpod16 maybe #basstodon and https://fedidevs.com/s/MTQx/ 🙂 also, just a couple of days ago, another band joined the fediverse, let me have a look for you...

[Guest]

@derthomas it's the same starter pack I found :) But I've got no clue, not a musician here, yet I do love music ☺️

@hpod16 @Kitty @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @steffimetal

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@steffimetal @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @derthomas shut UP, there are coloured strings?
How do I get them? This is exciting

[kitty@metalhead.club]

@derthomas

Hi! Some extra bass players off the top of my head to add to the list

@venya @bestiaexmachina and double bass @paulh 😊

@hpod16 @sAshA8H @NoRestfortheWicked @steffimetal

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@sAshA8H yes that’s a short scale.
I bought a normal scale first but when I tried another lady’s short scale everything changed. I decided that probably normal bass guitars are designed for big man-hands and I should embrace my small but dexterous lady fingers, and just get a short scale (and then I found one in my colour, and I was sold. Or rather the bass was sold. To me.)

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@BrennpunktUA #basstodon, that’s a brilliant hashtag!

[brian@soundfury.net]

@Kitty And @jake4480 is a bass player.
