bigmogWhen I started the bass guitar so many years ago, I bought a cheap one knowing that playing a musical instrument is often a temporary endeavor. A year of practice seemed like enough time to justify buying a nicer bass and a work windfall made that possible. I did continue on playing several years but slowly lost interest for reasons previously noted.
The bass still sits dormant and I ought to sell it now that I've switched paths to the piano. That was June of last year when I bought a cheap(ish) model used on Facebook marketplace. And now I've repeated myself with an upgrade to keep me motivated. The first piano re-sold quickly online netting nearly what I had paid originally. Highlights of the replacement unit: a decade of audio tech updates, improved speakers, and a furniture stand to make it look classier(ish).
I've been playing it frequently and even enrolled in a class to check that my self-taught talents are sound. More on that later.
