I've tried not to be interested in playing music, even tried to stop listening to music. I thought, I'm bored of it all.

I'm just kidding myself. I can't stop. I was up the other night watching something about REO Speedwagon...I don't even like REO Speedwagon.

Family aside  Music is my first love.

Just got confirmation that I'll be interviewing the great Kinga Glyk next Saturday!

Given that the year is of sentimental meaning to him, do I tell my Managing Director that the 1972 Precision he thinks he has, has actually got a 74 neck and 73 pots?🙄

What would be a good preamp/modeller/driver/DI to go straight into a PA?  Before everyone starts naming bespoke, top of the range items, please bear in mind that the budget is low.  When I say low, I mean that I was looking at a Behringer BDI21, low.

I am an independent (freelancing) music gear video reviewer and demonstrator. If you own or know of a brand who are looking to have video footage produced for social media, drop me a line. I’d be interested in working with you.

Maybe you are a shop wanting to show off basses for sale, or are a small company producing pedals, a massive worldwide brand wanting quality media by someone who knows what they are talking about or simply want a company introduction video; let’s have a chat.

I’m also working on producing voice over media as I have a studio set up here too.

Oh no.....a bass I've wanted for a while has become available. £2k+ though.....what to do!?!
I should probably go try it and hope that it's rubbish haha

Just had a wee server hiccup at BC central, nothing to worry about.  A severe thrashing from Ped saw the IT gnomes working to the brink exhaustion to restore service as quickly as inhumanely possible.  All hail the IT gnomes for their tireless devotion to our cause.  

What I love about LinkedIn is how it knows me so well. Earlier it suggested that I might want to connect with Grant Shapps.

Since when were musicman bongo basses hard to find?? GAS killing me and I can only see a couple available in the wrong colour 😂

Happy BC birthday to me. I’m 13 years old today. Cue grumpy teenager.

Never agree to a courier delivery on a Friday.  It's POETS day, so for Friday delivery read Monday. I don't think I've ever had a Friday out-for-delivery that didn't end up held over til the next week.

My son (2.5yo) clocked my new bass today. “That’s my new bass” I said. “Is the other one broken?” He replies. I’ve taken him out of nursery for a lesson in GAS tomorrow. So innocent!

NAD tomorrow, wohoo. No VU. 😲

Brilliant!!! The guy I work with/share a van with at work has just tested positive for covid. 

Just typed ‘live environment’ in a thread but autocorrect decided it should be ‘love envelope’ 

One more sub and we hit 100! If someone could oblige 😂✌🏻

Insomniac, Greek and a hopeless player. What could go wrong? Nice to meet you, guys and gals.

Joined 11 years ago today....I had three basses back then. A 4 string, a 5 string and an acoustic...probably owned 50+ basses since.

You people have been a bad influence on me...😉😉

Had a dream I owned a Les Paul junior bass in TV Yellow - but it was an 8 string. Now I need to build one.....

More finger puppets ordered... that can only mean one thing

Awesome service from Strings Direct again this week. Ordered at 11am on Friday, landed on my doormat 11am Saturday.

EDIT: originally said 11pm. D'oh.

Picked up a Sire a few week ago and wasn't quite working.....Slapped a set of Chromes on, now we're talking!
