Hi all.
Long time no post.
Now I know there's already a similar thread but I didn't want to revive an old thread or hijack it.
I've been playing guitar for a long time but i'd say it's been quite sporadic.
I'd even go as far as to say I was more of a collector than a player.. (GAS which I'm sure we're familiar with)
I've had many acoustic guitars including all the popular brands and a few customs.. I've since sold all of them and only have 1 acoustic guitar left, and 2 electric guitars left.
I want to start from fresh and be a consistent bass player and play bass as my 'main instrument'.
I custom ordered a bass guitar a few years ago (lol) in order to play and i've been procrastinating until now... I thought I would custom order the most versatile bass guitar I could possibly make so that I wouldn't have to buy another one... BUT I made a mistake in the design of the bass which makes it a bit hard to play (35" scale and I put the bridge 2" from where it could have been at the end which makes it a bit of a stretch).. it's also quite heavy.. but I digress.
I'm going through the studybass.com stuff and it's pretty good.
I've been looking around for a new church and it seems one in particular does not have a bass player so maybe I can start from there.
Any tips for me?
The new church does not have a drummer at the moment either... just vocals, guitar and keyboard. In considering that, what would be the main role there for a bassist?
I am already approaching the bass as a separate instrument, one for keeping the rhythm going

.
I would like to be known as a bass player and not as a guitar collector lol.
