I'm so fucking glad I did. I've been on a hiatus from regularly practicing. My motivation has been lower and lower, even though playing music is my absolute favorite thing to do. Although not in one sitting, I did a whole 3 hours, and I was thrilled through each second of it. I gotta give a bit of a shoutout to my darling 💚 for giving me some inspiration here. Watching her play guitar just sparked that feeling in me more than anything else. I guess being connected through someone I love that dearly through my favorite thing pushed me.

I have a Yamaha. I got it as a completely free Christmas gift from a customer at my last job. It was a married middle-aged woman who talked to me about jazz a lot. I told her that I hadn't been able to play bass in a long time because I left my father's house and all my equipment was still there. I didn't get into too many personal details, but he kicked me out for being queer, so that's how I got to that point. This customer walked in around Christmas time with a Yamaha, and her son took a picture with me holding it because he loves music.

kicked me out for being queer

That's a really nice personal anecode, I'n sure the woman and her son would be hapoy to hear that you've gotten back to playing. I'm happy for you too.

Hell yeah. I’ve got a Yamaha fretless I got from an uncle that I stare at and make “boi-oi-oing” noises with. My regular bass is a Jackson (fretted) because, despite a year of practice and lessons, I still can’t hack a fretless lol
