it feels great to finally have strings in my life again after kinda fucking up the first attempt when i was 15 (i was too impatient to save up for an amp, so i got an acoustic bass, and that thing was so much harder to play that i barely did a thing with it)

i definitely got a reality check after obsessing about this for a whole month and finally having it in my hands and barely being able to do anything lol.... but i know it was the correct decision because i can't stop picking it up and playing with it even though my fingertips hurt like fuck

allie has a bass (actually 2) as well, it's so cool! I don't know if I could ever get a feel for fretting technique, it's so difficult ><

it's definitely weird, it feels different from any other fine motor skill. it does get easier as you spend time with it though! it's 90% just building confidence and the rest is finding efficient motions that are suited to your body. i still refuse to use my pinky

also i figured out that it's a lot easier if you think of finding a fret and plucking it with the other hand as one continuous motion that you do at the same time. you get a lot less awkward buzzing that way
