Learning how to play guitar is like learning how to speak a language. The more you listen to, imitate and play along with professionals, the better you'll get.
Studies show that 97% of all guitarists discover that learning how to play guitar isn't as easy as they thought it would be. And if you keep using the same old time-wasting strategies, drills and boring exercises that other people use, you're even worse off!

Advice wanted for a bass

I want to buy a new bass. and I would like to know which models have a
low (very low) action and along with a thin. and not that wide scale.

and not that wide scale.

and not that wide scale.

I have this bass and I give it 2 thumbs up! Action is great. The only thing
is. it's a little top heavy. The right strap cures that.

Have you tried a different strap? thick leather
Levi's that makes my Skyline 55-01 a lot easier on my shoulder.

I don't like Jazz basses and I don't like P/J pickup configurations. yet
I love the Fender Aerodyne. Go figure.

were very heavy. Even when playing seated. it was not comfortable
(especially the 70 one)...

Do Rockbass have the same qualities as the Warwick when it comes to
necks. Warwick seem very expensive. and Rockbass are more in my range...

The German-built one was built with superior hardware and more.
expensive (and heavy) woods. And the German one (with its passive
electronics) sounded much better than the SE. which had active electronics
but lacked any unique sonic character.
All said and done. I prefered the "handling" of the Rockbass. It was more
comfortable to play and I prefered the feel of its neck (I think it was
maple. as opposed to the wenge neck of the German built bass).

Go with that. If it feels too heavy. ignore the others. Besides. ASATs
have horrible balance for smaller people and neck dive issues. Big people
have more ways to make up for that. as there is more strap to back/shoulder
surface area contact. which slows the neck from diving.

The most commonly accepted bridge width is that of a fender 4. at about 3/4"
from one string's string center to the next. But nut widths can vary
between P bass (1 11/16ths-ish or more) width and J bass width (1.5") or
less. But this is all very general.
