Danzilla Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Back in December 2000, I got my first 5 string bass. After a few months of nearly exclusive use of it, playing my 4 string bass felt like playing a pencil. At his week's band rehearsal, I debuted the upright. I played it for half the night. When I switched to my 5 string bass, IT felt like playing a pencil. But they all feel good. That's what matters.

jcadmus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Now try to play your Kala, and see what that feels like. For me, it's about what gets the job done. I mostly play my fives because they best suit what I play most of the time -- both in how they sound and how I have to play the material. But sometimes nothing but my four will do.

Danzilla Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Now try to play your Kala, and see what that feels like. Back in the 90's, in one band (started as duo, evolved into a sort of band) I could play acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and mandolin all in one show. Aside from getting tired of lugging all that gear, my hands & fingers were killing me at the end of the night. While I love paying them all, I want a gig that's relatively stable as to which I'm playing. Yet here I am shifting again...
