Getting married TODAY 🥰😁

I've noticed that plectrum catches the strings on upstroke when alternate picking today, particularly when muting. I've not practised much the last few months with getting married and all so this feels like a huge step back and a basic skill to lose! Anyone else had this?

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

Am I done buying bass gear? I just bought an 48" (120fps, 1ms input lag) OLED TV for the attic instead of a Nate Mendel sig Pbass. The other OLED in the living room is 65".

New one is used with the PC for Cubase and gaming, and the image quality is just astounding. Of course I set the screensaver timer at 5 mins because OLED will burn in if you don't take care of these things.
 

How exciting to be briefly Banned! Living on the edge

Would it be preposterous to try and sell a semi-working Line6 G30 wireless system for repair/spares/parts? 🤔

15 minutes a day reading music is better than no minutes.

I always feel like their is a hole in my ability as a bassist. This should fill it!

Dutch government just fell. Great timing in the middle of a pandemic and trying to get vaccinations going! Yay. I'll just play my basses and stay away from politics as much as I can...

Bah, post Christmas / New Year Mondays back at work are the worst!!

This bass has sadly been sold.

Just another completely pointless Status Update ... I've just bought new strings. For my Status.

12 days after surgery, I now have a right eyeball that is half gas and half liquid. The liquid appears to be on the top, since vision is inverted. So it's still not usable, and I have to cover it with a patch because the sloshing is so distracting, but the little I can see does appear to be in focus. Another week and I might be able to do some work.

Watch `The Social Dilemma' and learn how our attention is now the product, disconnect yourself and explore the real world.

Goodbye BASSCHAT.

Moping at home after eye surgery last Saturday. Right retina tore & detached, so a surgeon sucked out all the goo, spot-welded the tears with a laser, then pumped up my eye with hexafluoroethane, a greenhouse gas. So that’s me on one eye for the next few weeks at least. I’ve even got the eyepatch. (Arrrr.)

Camel Journey Precision & Lakland DJ5 in the house, busy week lol. Promise I’m done for at least 6 months now 😆

Made some good friends and bought and sold some amazing gear.

First post-lockdown gig next week! Over a year since our last one...

I have 9 pedals on my pedalboard. Just 3 of them are effects
