Speaking of tired fingers. My left hand can barely lift it's fingers off the keyboard to type. Holy shit doob. It takes a real man to press down those bass strings. I think I may have done damage to my pinky trying to use it. I'm not giving up learning, but I think I'm meant to be a guitar player.
Also was wondering while watching a lot of bass videos why it seems chubby guys like the bass more. I think it's because they actually have the hand strength to press the strings down, haha.
Also bought (only to be returned) a bass amp. TC electronic BG250 - 112. It's a bad ass little rig. I don't need anything that powerful, am thinking of a 50w ampeg or something. Oh, and the bass guitar itself, I had a guy look at it who was hanging in the bass section of guitar center. He was in a band that opened up for Grand Funk Railroad on one of their tours (he was mighty proud). Anyhow, he was hanging in the bass section and I said, want to try this thing out. He said it sounded better than almost every bass they sold in the store. I guess it sounds pretty good. It has a piezo pickup which I like the sound of a lot better than the bartolini soap bars. There's a synth out as well, but apparently I'd need an expensive peice of hardware to make that work.
Yes, think I'm going to flower the other mom.
