As the old saying goes, "what goes around, comes
around." My first guitar was a bass but I got rid of it after a
short time for a number of reasons. After over 35 years, I have
gotten back into the bass guitar. After jamming for some time with
at least two different groups of people, I reasoned that there were always
plenty of 6 string/rhythm guitars in the group, but never a bass. I
decided that would be my next "project."
In January 2005, I purchased this Peavey Grind NTB 4
bass guitar. I am learning a lot with it, mainly because I have been
playing quite a bit lately with some very talented and very experienced
musicians. Whether or not I will ever master it is not really an
issue. As I've said before, my main objective is to have fun.

I owned this guitar for over nine years. During the time I
owned it, it was one of two basses that I had, the other being the
Hofner. They were both easy to
play but I always said that this one played, and sounded, like a
much more expensive guitar. It had great action and played
very easily. It was the one I went to when I did any
recording work.
The time came when I decided I wanted to invest in higher end bass
guitars. After buying the Fender
Jazz, I started dreaming about buying a Gibson. I soon
realized that, although you can never have too many guitars, the
reality is, I just didn't need that many. I sold my Peavey
in March 2013. Our daughter-in-law, Mel, bought it for her
brother. It's new home is in North Carolina.
