Guitars, guitars, guitars
Taekwondoin:
So I got my Squier Bass VI on monday, and after a couple of days of heavy usage, I can say that it is fuck awesome. It definitely needs some new strings (which I've already ordered, should be here today or tomorrow) and at some point the 9.5 radius Staytrem bridge would be a good investment for £65 to improve the intonation. In terms of tone and playability though, it's very hard to put down! I'll take some pics later in the week with the whole stable.
Jimor:
Got to see this guy play this harp guitar at a show tonight. Should have video of my own to post a bit later.

Taekwondoin - I'm jealous!!
Jimor - my old guitar teacher plays a harp guitar. Random fact.
In other news...
I've been playing a lot of bass lately (Rocksmith is fun!), now when I go back to guitar the strings feel like steel spiderwebs. My guitar playing has actually regressed quite a bit since playing bass. But on the flip side, I don't care, because bass is fun!
Would a bass VI bridge the gap nicely between my newfound bass enjoyment and my established guitar skillz?

Depends on what strings you use and what tuning you have it at. It's traditionally tuned E-E, but a bass E, there's no reason why you can't tune it up to B like a baritone though, that's what I plan on doing at least. Also, you can still play full chords even when tuned E-E, I'd say find one to try out first.
Patrick:
Kwaping, bass is a whole lot of fun! If you want to stay good at guitar though, you're gonna have to practice it more. I'm very lucky to have a band where I play bass, but I switch between guitar and drums at my open mics. It's struck a nice balance, and every time I learn something on one instrument I seem to learn something else about the others.
