I used to play bass - about 10 or so years ago. no time anymore.
Play it while you are still young. :)
I used to have this very cool hollow-body classic Gretsch bass from the '60's that was actually (and still is) my father's, part of his collection, back when Gretsch made high-end guitars in their glory days (my father's daily guitar for the past 40 years is a Gretsch White Falcon, believe it or not! He was a dealer). It had a starburst stain to it, and looked somewhat like this one:

...although no doubt that's a cheapie reissue - the stain doesn't even have much color on that "reissue". And mine had a pick-guard, and thumb-rests, etc. it looked quite a bit different, nicer, perceivably.
Someday I'll have time again. I hope.
