Yeah nothing like having a real bass.

 I must be a little lazy because I sometimes would rather punch in a keys bass than take it off the wall,tune it, set levels etc. I do play with it but not as much as I thought I would.

To flesh out an idea fast I may track with keys and then go to the real bass later.

 

Here's a cheap bass.

Just picked up a mint 18mo old Ibanez SRA500 used for $300..

Cool. Nice one, congrats! :)
