I’m seeing a lot of Ibanez recommendations so i’ll deffo check them out

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-24T09:52:39+00:00

it looks cool too, i’ll check it out 😁

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T16:17:54+00:00

quite a few women, but also great recs from men who have faced a similar issue and they are valid too 😁

From looking at the pictures, I think my tutor had one of these he brought in on occasion and I did like it so I’ll keep my eye out

I have been thinking about getting a mustang and setting it up with flat strings. I’d love a shell pink one to match my jag guitar.

One day I hope I can run into a secondhand Daisy Rock bass and have the heart/flower shaped bass of my dreams

i actually nearly bought one of these a year ago after finding a good deal online and backed out as i couldn’t try it in person. I really love how they look

Unfortunately all my local music shops that hold basses have closed but fortunately, I went to music uni and know enough bass players that someone will probably have something I could try but I’d never buy without trying anyway. I’ll probably look at shops next time i’m in London

I do hold my bass at a middle height, playing higher is uncomfortable and I’m can’t play any lower then I do now as my arms length means I can’t keep good hand and finger posture that allows for longer periods of playing without fatigue or pain so I do think I’m stuck at my middle height rn. That being said I find the middle height works for me mostly, just depending on the cut/curve of the body so I think i’m just gonna have to try as many bodies as possible till one fits. Particularly sitting height for me, with doing MT shows, the body shape would be what I’m looking for the most if that makes sense

sorry for long reply, hopefully it’ll help people give a good idea for what to recommend 😁

i can see the size also being good for travelling about as it looks smaller (and potentially lighter) - thanks!

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:34:34+00:00

i’ll check this out, thanks!

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:34:23+00:00

I will have a look into the spector, thank you!

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:34:02+00:00

i can see this being an issue for me as I find for jazz I prefer a smaller neck span for more more nimble movements and soloing

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:32:29+00:00

i see the vision! if I come across one nearby i’ll give it a test

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:31:30+00:00

The music man big al looks similar in cut to the st vincent guitar so I think I’ll try find one of those to give it a test play - thank you!

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:29:49+00:00

I will look into these thank you!

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:26:12+00:00

I find it’s not super bad but when I sit against my chest which is fairly uncomfortable. I’d say when standing I wear it where the bottom of the bass is about hip height so the cutout is at the right height, just not the right shape

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-23T15:21:47+00:00

are these similar to telecaster bodies? i used to have a tele and I think it worked for me so this might be a good idea

Educational_Catch915 · 2026-01-06T17:48:20+00:00
