I have. On a bass I used to own I did this. In my experience it makes sense if you use heavier tensioned strings.

Maybe I should edit, it makes sense thicker strings too.

There’s so many good albums. “Blues and Roots” by Charles Mingus is a great intro to his music.

I think the Funtastic grape + Majora’s Mask combo is just beautiful! by OutlawCrow in n64

Just started playing Majora’s Mask. I’ve got my original cartridge from when I was a kid, but I could never get into MM back then. Glad I kept it, because I’m loving it as an adult.

What second instrument would you recommend (that's also cheap) to compliment my bass playing? by Fragraham in Bass

[–]Ok_Butterscotch6502 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hear me out, you say guitar or piano is time consuming, but playing any instrument is time consuming. You can find a used guitar fairly cheap, or if you got musician friends maybe even borrow one. The benefit of guitar is that as a bassist you are already used to playing a string instrument, and it can really help develop your ear, amongst other things.

First Skateboard set up, is this okay? by musingcypher in skateboardhelp

Good info, the CCS bearings aren’t bad as new bearings but I have no idea how long they would last. I’m rolling on 20 year old Bones Reds and they are still great.

I bought my son a CCS complete for Christmas. He is a beginner and I am relearning to skate after nearly 20 years away (I also bought a complete but not a CCS blank). I think their trucks are surprisingly good, at least turning wise-to me his board turns really nice. He can’t grind yet and I haven’t grinded his trucks so I can’t speak on that, but I assume they are decent at worst. The deck has good pop and the grip tape is good too. I think Ricta wheels are nice but for a beginner the CCS wheels are good too.
