Dear Chris,
I’m thinking about buying a bass guitar. I’ve never played an instrument before. Well, I had to learn the recorder at school … I still have the damn thing somewhere. My mother found it in the attic a couple of years ago and she gave it to me as a birthday or christmass present. She thought it was very funny …
Anyway … I borrowed a book from the library, a guide to bass guitar. I think I need help. What type of bass do Bedders and Bushers play? Solid or hollow body? Does it have single- or double-coil pickups, active or passive electronics? What’s the scale? What gauge of strings do they use? How many strings? I’m just pretending to understand what I’m asking.
Tips and advice are most welcome …

About that t-shirt. I don’t want to nag but should’t it be ‘let’s dance’?
Why did you asterix that letter?

Bye,
Katleen

Dear Katleen
Bass guitars have 4 strings. If it’s electric, solid or hollow get an amp, plug it in and start making some noise. Don’t be readin no books.

PS Hold on it should be “f*ck art, let’s dance”
