A whole lot of music playing and practice. And I'm probably going to pick this mini bass up for television practice. I have an acoustic but I've never been really happy with the way it worked as practice in that environ. And it's just (rare and) cool!


It comes with both input (to input music into the preamp/amp) and a headphone jack. It's perfect for practice. Because of its size, it tunes an octave higher than a regular bass but plays and sounds otherwise pretty much like one.

My son is going through a small guitar phase...I'll be encouraging him considering I can't play a tune for the life of me.

He's got his kids' guitar, I've got my electric...may pick up a cheapo acoustic so I can practice with him.

I regret not sticking with music/guitar lessons when I was a kid...
I flirt with the idea of taking it up now that I'm retired, but I fear I won't live long enough to get good enough to jam with David Gilmore

Honestly I say go for it. If only to give it a whirl.

I have no grand visions of being any good at it...but to try it out, spend some time with the kid, and do something outside of work/kids/chores/cottage/maintenance/rinse and repeat...I figure why not.

Kids are getting older and my window to spend time with them is shrinking each passing day, so while they tolerate me and think I'm cool...I'm going on FBMP to look for an acoustic.

My oldest has an acoustic and another that looks like an acoustic, but it plugs into an amplifier.
I'd just borrow hers... I mean I paid for 'em Lol

Those both sound like way more than I’m willing to spend to strum some strings. But thanks for the offer!

The indoor IPSC schedule will be filling out, so there will be lots of that
'Been shooting "mini-rifle" division lately and it's a hoot..!
'Nice days where its not absolutely freezing I'll still go shoot trap...
One winter project I want to do is build an ultra-lite .22 or .17HMR for gophers in the spring.
That's the fun stuff...
I think Mrs. Gaoler plans on us repainting the entire interior of the house.
