Well as some of you may have read in my intro thread, I am having issues playing the Hamer 6 string because of my shortened index finger. So my answer to that issue was to bring home a bass. I must say that after a week of playing with the bass I do find it easier for me to play, but I still cant keep my hands off the 6 string. So much so that for some reason, god knows why, I brought home another guitar. This one is a Fender strat. For some reason the fender seams easier to play for me than the hamer.

What I am currently doing is plucking at the bass for a hour or so and then picking up the fender for a hour or so. My question is, What are your opinions on trying to learn both at the same time? Am I hurting myself by doing this? Has anyone else done this? Should I put one down and concentrate on the other until I am further down the road?


Ok, gotta post a pic of the new toy.
