I got a decent acoustic ibanez about 1.5 years ago and it's really spurred me to actually learn how to play. I don't know a lot yet but I really enjoy just jamming around a key for 1 or 20 minutes here or there.

There is something viscerally enjoyable about coaxing what seems to be coherent language out of an instrument and recognizing it as coherent even though I can't actually put me finger on what it's saying, at least not in words.

The whole pentatonic scale is kind of weird, it just seems like each note really makes sense in relation to each other.

I think I need a beer.

Your words remind me of Psalm 49:4

"I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle"

I was really hoping this would be about Bass ale.

Also considering picking up a guitar and taking some instruction. Sounds like fun man.

Jonathan, look into the Nashville number system.

I just rebuilt my 74 P bass with the intention of playing it more.  So far, it hasn't worked like that.

Nope, that's my ukulele.  I have a Dean acoustic bass as well as my old Fender electric.  Also 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, a Strat and a Les Paul Custom.  A couple keyboards, too.  I think that's about all.

My '66 P-bass has been hanging on my office wall collecting dust.

I'm a guitarist first, but I love picking up the bass and just jamming out.

I keep meaning to get my fretless set up properly. I love my Carvins, but the out-of-the-box setup always seems to be a bit high in the action.

Very nice DarkSide. Well played.

I had a fairly nice rig. Ibanez SR600 and an Acoustic amp. Sold it all and bought beer equipment. Now I just sit around and brew and pick at my grandfathers old Maybelle banjo. It's a very deliverance existence.

Nice striper! Looks like it's pushing 70 pounds. That's a once-in-a-lifetime fish!
