re: Question for the Bass Players

I have been playing guitar for 54 years but I only took up bass a couple of years ago. And quite frankly, I have pretty much taken to liking bass more than guitar. It was like I almost had an innate feel for being part of the rhythm section.
In response to someone talking about going at bass like a guitar, I absolutely plead guilty to that but I bought a bass that’s kind of conducive to being treated like a guitar, a Hofner violin bass (not the really expensive one or the really cheap one, the kind of “in the middle” one) that has a short scale plus it works much, much better when you use a pick.
I started out just playing the basic notes of the chords, then worked on runs and fills and lines to connect those.
Bass is fun …
