Hyfi, did you stick with bass or move on? I play bass, or play at it. I've had one for years but haven't progressed very far. I need to get off my duff and get some lessons to get me over my plateau. I have a Fender Jazz, love the neck. I am a bass and percussion guy. I've never been able to do much with a 6 string. My wife got me a overdrive pedal for Xmas one year and I have a blast with distortion. I also like to try to do the string pop Funk stuff.
