What I’m Digging

I have never really played guitar - I started on bass way back when
and guitar ,with those two goofy top strings , was / is a mystery to me.
Maybe part of this befuddlement on my part was the short scale and
tight spacing of the guitar.
Long story short - I am having a gas with these two basses , both of
which are tuned like a guitar, but an octave lower , like a Fender Bass
VI. It seems the added "space" allows me to see the fretboard more
clearly, not with my eyes, but with my head.
Sometimes I tune these like the top 6 strings of a 7 string bass -
EADGCF.
Then I am really home, tuned all in ascending 4ths.

The Barcelona is a 34" scale instrument , the Elrick 29 ".

Look out Holdsworth, I am coming!!
