  1. The folk rock band who tolerate my bass services were starting to get festival bookings before Covid. Usually the headline acts kept themselves to themselves, but for bizarre reasons to do with extreme weather we found ourselves doing the whole drunken 'we are not worthy' thing backstage with Stanley Jordan, poor lad. He had nowhere to hide. My friend "persuaded" him to participate in a selfie -- as Mr Jordan was changing out of his stage clobber at the time, the crop of the photo makes it look like he's naked and sitting with a clothed man. Brighton has its share of pop illuminati. We were next to Fatboy and Zoe in a queue for a kids' ride once and I used to occasionally see the late Gary Moore in places like WHSmith. But my favourite star spot was Nick Cave, standing patiently in a queue outside the fancy dress shop one Halloween.
  2. Cream sits better with the upside-down headstock. It screams "funk" in every sense.
  3. Have you considered splitting the signal and running clean and dirty in parallel?
  4. Ah right, sorry my bad. Is it feasible to split the signal and send an input to each?
  5. As featured on the front of the first bass book I ever bought, Teach Yourself Rock Bass. The book was really not that helpful to me, but to this day I consider these basses the epitome of cool. Sadly I'm skint.
  6. If your speakers can’t handle the bass anyway, what’s the rationale for adding an amp into the chain? I can’t see an extra gain stage making things any clearer.
  7. Not sure I belong within 100m of any kind of spray paint, but good to know
  8. Nah I’m going for the Road worn look. Also I couldn’t work out how.
  9. A Chinese Warwick in featureless high-gloss alder, with a big square maple décolletage at the neck joint.
  10. Hated the original natural alder so I stickerbombed it
  11. Root notes are going to be your bread’n’spread for jam nights (hey, get me with the mixed metaphor), but you can probably help flag the changes to keep folk together. So little chromatic runs up/down and ending phrases on the fourth or fifth of the next root (whichever sounds righter). To go beyond, and apologies if this is stuff you’ve been doing since childhood: learn to harmonise the major scale, and maybe the modes too. Both much easier than they sound and can help you find new places to go.
  12. No good for metal, then? That's a first for BC, I think.
  13. Did nobody else hear “Ars* About Face”? One of my dad’s catchphrases so maybe just me, then.
