This assumes he's even going to make an attempt at learning bass again, which is a pretty big leap for someone who hasn't even pulled one out of the closet yet.

But it's better than being alone with his thoughts again. It's being alone with his thoughts and a useless instrument he's never going to actually play. Definitely a step up.
