The claw

Darn Clint 55, I learn something new about you every day.

So you studied upright? :o Awesome! :). I studied fretless electric bass... wanted to play the upright;

but decided not to. Because it was so expensive; hard to lug around- and not easy to learn/play either. It's still my favourite bass (and bowed) instrument.

\m/

That's cool that you studied fretless. Do you still have one? I don't remember. The only bass I have right now is a P bass that I fixed up. I don't have an upright anymore for the reasons you said. Expensive, tough to play, etc. My goal is to just get to playing 1 instrument - guitar - well. Maybe I should revisit upright in the future. I'm pretty good. Can hold it down pizzicato and I can play well with the bow - in tune with vibrato and everything.
 
^ For the 80th time, it's not an injury. My ring sticks paired next to my middle while passive from upright bass fingering. If I go to move them, they function normally.

I learned something new in this thread -people study the bass.

bass jokes.... I got em.

Yap. I quit bass when I decided I wanted to learn to play actual music with melody and harmony.

I lost everything- I ever owned, got, saved for, bought... in a house fire; that took everything with it. No insurance.

:/

but please; keep playing! :D. I love the sound of an upright.
 
Not only is my left hand clawed but I'm amazed how stupid it is coming back to keys after focusing on guitar for a while and bass being my 1st instrument.
 
What do you mean by that?

Edit: I think I finally got it. Yap, it's been a while lol. Haven't had a gf in a decade. But things are going well with Ashley so far.
