Thank you Bill Norris

Meh, he’s alright. Kidding!

I’ve asked Bill an annoying amount of questions, along with others on here. Bill and those other people are why I pretty much exclusively use this forum to ask questions. They Take the time to give you an answer, but more importantly an explanation as to why. That’s important to me. Stand up dudes.

Thanks Bill.

When I first saw his avatar I thought, cool Bill is a musician. Then I saw it was just a bass guitar :p

Obviously kidding! I wish I had any musical ability at all. My nephew plays a 5 string bass and my brother plays the guitar. My brother is always giving him a hard time about not being able to play a "real" guitar, so I guess it's common banter between guitarists and bassist, lol.

Yea, regular guitar is fun too as that is what I learned first as a kid. Swapped over to bass when I was around 20 years old kind of out of necessity for the band we were putting together. Went back and forth between the two for several bands but realized I had as much fun or more on bass so kind of stuck with it. It quickly became my comfort zone so to speak. Worked out really well once my kids were up and learning how to play and sing because my oldest Son became the lead singer and the younger Son became a fantastic lead guitar player as well. Enjoyed many years of music with them but traveling took it's toll with us owning a construction company and doing both was a huge job no doubt.

The funny part with my nephew is he's more talented than his dad. A fact I bring up at all family get togethers hahaha.

It's not my kind of music, but he's phenomenal. I respect anyome who can play an instrument, I've tried to learn and it's not easy!

This is my nephew's band.

But, it IS a real guitar. Fender Jazz is the real deal!

Tried many brands the first few years of playing bass and nothing felt as much like "home" as the Fender Jazz to me. Still have it and will never depart with it as long as I live.

Roger that, brother! I'm in a life-long relationship (fifty years now, and till death do us part) with a '61 Stratocaster. Tried a bunch of old and new Gibsons, several Ibanez, a couple of Yamahas, even a Rickenbacker. Still have an old Les Paul, but she rides the bench. I really like the way you put it - that Strat feels like 'home'.
