Congrats on the new bass! been following for a little while, it's interesting to see another self taught bassist in the process of learning. ^^ I also had this moment, when I got my second bass, and the difference was huge... Started out with a cheap bass, as most people...And I also had that issue with the frats on my first bass, had a lot of tiny cuts on my hand if I didn't keep a distance from the neck, it was frustrating, glad I don't have it on my current bass. Glad to see you also experiencing this joy of a better bass. Enjoy, and good luck! :)
Thanks so much! The difference is crazy isn't it? I suppose you get what you pay for though lol, I just didn't think a cheap bass would be THAT bad, although as a beginner you don't really understand or realise until you start playing it more and more. The worst for me was the stupidly high action, but the truss rod screw was stripped so I couldn't fix the bowed neck :/ I had to put unbelievable pressure on each time I fretted, it hurt my thumb so bad after a while. This new bass is like a dream, but now I have to kinda unlearn the gorilla left hand technique xD Good luck on your bass journey too!
@@jeyda4127 Awesome. If you had a five string, I would have recommended PVRIS - Smoke, if only because it would teach you some groove. But you might have to adapt the bass line to something you can play on that Ibanez.
@@NickG6489 I'll probably eventually get a 5 string when I'm somewhat decent at playing the 4 string (if that time ever comes lol) It be nice to have a 5 string especially as most the songs I seem to like use either 5 string, drop C or BEAD tuning. Also, funky song! thanks for sharing and yes I would probably have to do that (not really sure how haha).
@@jeyda4127 I'm sure you'll get there, especially if you keep going the way you've been. You're clearly very dedicated to this instrument, it's really awesome to see.
