    Use the bass for rehearsal, action is good and very playable.

    Good to see everything works and sounds how it should. You should be proud of your efforts.

    Yep, know it well as I had the same experience on the EX-5 but after a while it becomes second nature as everything is in uniform patterns up and down the fret board. I find it best when playing around 5th fret as you don't have to play an open low E as it is right there on the 5th of the low B. Notes lower than D on that string are very dark and I don't seem to go there.

    After a while I get lost in where I am on the fret board as you tend to play by ear after a while and everything just seems to fall into place. Really weird when you first jump back on a 4 stringer as you have to recalibrate your brain a bit.
