this has actually been a constant with all my friends who play bass

Is it because it takes meaty fingers to slap and pluck at those heavy gauge strings?

I wish I could play some instrument. Well, too late at 32.

just get like a cheap used bass and poo poo little practice amp for like 150 total and learn to play some poo poo. if you like it upgrade your setup when you feel like you want to. look up scales and play along to some songs by ear. practice good form and pick it up and jam whenever you have some free time. eventually you'll probably try guitar or something, which is the same poo poo. learn like seven chords at first and try new poo poo whenever you pick it up in your spare time. worst case scenario you hate it and you sell your poo poo to some pre-teen who wants to play dio with his friends. everyone wins. saying you're too old is a cop out. its not like you're trying to learn latin or something

I bought a guitar but the plug was too big to fit in my MacBook Pro. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it and my vape pen is too thick to fit between the strings on the tuny part. Being a rock star is a lot more complicated than I thought and now my wife is mad at me again.

If you play bass in a band, grab any cute girl and stand her directly in front of your rig.
Have the band play any funk song, really lay it on that low B and your chances with her just went up 100%.

Also if you're a guitarist who thinks they can just pick up a bass and be awesome, you listen to really lovely music.

If you're looking for me, you better check under the sea

Dude's got a Sunn Sentura, an Ampeg V4 and a Peavey acoustic 300 as well as maybe a solid state power slave. I approve.

Probably is in a unpopular doom band from Alabama called Bong Witch or smth and runs his amps at 2 ohms just for internet amp forum cred (this exists)

People who say bass is a scrub instrument clearly just listen to lovely music.

Listen to some Talking Heads or New Order for some proper bass action.

i love guitarists that think they can just pick up the bass and shred. you can tell that not only do they not know anything about bass they don't know much about music in general.
