(#5qwmb3q) Despite its size and weight, it’s got a lot of *oomph*: (Lower string tension = more bottom end, apparently?)

(#5qwmb3q) Lol, well it’s better to start at a young age, huh? 🤣 🤯 🥴 (That’s also a short-scale bass, so it gives you a rough idea how “big” it is.)

(#5qwmb3q) To be completely honest: Compared to my “regular” bass, it feels a bit like a toy. 🤣 It’s *tiny* (you can’t really tell that from the photo) and *super light*. But since it’s so small, it’s *much* easier to play, especially with my little Trump-like hands. Awesome!

(#5qwmb3q) @movq I don't know much about instruments, but it sounds good and the wood looks rather nice.

(#5qwmb3q) @fastidious Is it too late to start now? I mean, I know the feeling – I could have started like 20-25 years earlier. I probably won’t be able to make up for that time. It’s lost. So, lowering my expectations now. 😁 I’ll never play in a band or anything, but that doesn’t matter, it’s just for me, and a lot of fun. 😊

(#5qwmb3q) @movq Hmmm what makes it “short-scale”? 🤔

(#5qwmb3q) @movq Nice sound! 👌

(#5qwmb3q) Anyway, this little guy allows me to focus more on music theory now, because I can just play most of the stuff, without having to worry *too much* about not being able reach certain positions. I love it!

(#5qwmb3q) @lyse Yeah, I have to say I like the matte finish much better than the shiny one on the full-scale bass. Shiny stuff just catches fingerprints … 😄
