Good evening! Here's me with my bitsa Musicmaster. The neck is dated 1971, everything else has been replaced - I'm not sure about the age of the body which has been resprayed, and has a huge hole under the pickguard where a neck pickup used to be. Sounds amazing and has La Bella flats on it,

My Spotify playlist currently has 1182 likes - if you'd like to have your music included, and it fits genre wise, just send post the song link below.

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE BASS LINE! For a while now I’ve been recording at home, using a small Zoom R8 recorder and interface. It has a good selection of drums, and a choice of kit sounds and rhythms. The Bass guitar effects are excellent – my favourite being the Ampeg SVT setting (gloriously fat!), and lots of EQ options. Using a Classic Series 50’s Precision Bass, strung with Rotosound flats, I’d been jamming for a few weeks with a bass line I’d come up with – a definite nod to “Come Go With Me” by The Staple Singers, a song which as you know has the most amazing groove all the way through.. Gradually the bass part took on more of a reggae groove, and once I’d added some drums everything came together pretty quickly. The melody line popped into my head – but I needed some help with lyrics (Thanks Roz!). Thanks to the internet, my good friend Grev added a skanking guitar part, and Michelle Hope came up with a beautiful vocal performance. I think it worked out well, and I hope you like it. I have spent many years coming up with lines for other people’s songs – it was a real blast to create from the bottom up! #fenderprecisionbass #rotosoundstrings #reggaebass #BassDriven #cornwalluk #bassguitar #bassplayers #zoomrecorder
