Love them all! My electric guitar and bass are the same colors as yours, but I switched out the pick guards for paisley print ones.

I would love to change the bridge pick up in my Strat for a humbucker but didn't know if my soldering skills would be up to it. Did you find it hard to swap all your electronics out?

I didn't swap any electronics. Only the simple plastic pick guard. Even then, I took it to the guitar shop where I take lessons. It only took him a few minutes to change it.

Question

For those who also have Bass guitars

How hard you find the transition to a Bass ? Should I get one ?

I played electric guitar for a year and a half before deciding to try electric bass. For me, bass was a lot easier to play and learn than guitar. I still find it easier after another year and a half of playing both. If you like rhythm, bass is good for you to try. I have a Fender Jazz Bass and I absolutely love it!

I borrowed a Squier P Bass and Fender 15B amp from my neighbor. Where is best to get online Bass lessons, any pointers?

I can heartily recommend Scott's Bass Lessons. He is all over YouTube and he has a very good site too.

I have to admit that I am enjoying learning the bass but don't attempt to play your bass through a guitar amp, the speaker will not like it. I have learned that one can play a guitar through a bass amp.

If you know the names of your notes of your guitar, you will have little trouble with a bass. However, finger stretches take on a new level of pain on a bass.

I like using the bass to lay down a loop on my looper and then playing guitar over it. Prince, I am not, but I can impress the other members of my family!

It’s not as easy I thought it be. Higher action, big fret distance and fat strings. Also knowing bass lines is a search and seek mission

Anyhow this combo is for sale also, not sure what to offer? Thinking 150$ maybe a good price. If I buy it that is?

Bass is a 2003 Squier P Bass and amp is basic 15w Fender Bass amp

A 15w bass amp is likely to be very quite. Mine is 40w and is not that loud.

Bass needs at least 4x the wattage of a guitar amp if you want a nice clean sound with some headroom...unless you're just looking for a practice amp. In that case I would just get a headphone amp.

Didn’t buy the bass, just couldn’t get with it, it isn’t for me

Want a hollow or semi hollow body now, any will do, had a cheap car boot no name many years ago and loved it.

Something like this

If you get one of those, you will have to learn all of Chuck Berry's songs!
