As I posted in another thread..the only problem is the scale..I'm used to 24"..this one is 27"..but it sounds good

Can understand that, you will have to play like a noob for awhile and watch your hand as the feel of the position is going to be way (at least anough) off to make you hit wrong notes.  How is the dual strings on it, I have never gotten a feel for that style.

Actually not bad, but then I've owned 12 string guitars for like 40 years..

I have added  a bass chorus stomp box for a little extra effect, but only for certain songs when the drummer at church doesn't show.

And here I just thought you wanted to go out like John Entwistle  :angel:   :laugh: 

I do have the chorus box, used it at church last Sunday, I thought the music director was going to come unhinged..but I'm the only bass player, so I can push the envelope..

It's fun to play, but as I said, the longer scale takes some getting used to, so it's practice, practice, practice
