Spent about three hours on a really nice Tacoma acoustic bass, jamming with my daughter on flute and my son in law on guitar and mandola. OK, I exagerate: part of my time wasspent on guitar and mandolin. But the bass is fairly new to me, and this is the first time I'd really played an acoustic one. What a treat. The Tacoma is set up well, and very responsive. A real pleasure for me to play, almost like a guitar except you have to lower your ears a bit and grow your fingers about an inch.
It's amazing the amount of black that can be put on our fingertips playing bass. Plus, my fingers are forming calluses where they'd never dreamed! Oh, well, it sure was fun. Thanks, BlueJay
