Just put some Labella flats on my newly acquired 73 Mustang. Gosh darn it what a brilliant little bass.
-
I did podcasts with Robin Mullarkey (Jacob Collier) and Dave Swift (Jools Holland). Check 'em out if you like
-
Someone filmed the whole set of my UB40 tribute gig last Thursday. Pretty satisfied with the result.
-
Over the next few weeks in my podcast: Robin Mullarkey and Dave Swift. Both great guys and great players. Can't wait to publish those episodes.

Last minute addition to my bassists' podcast: Robin Mullarkey! Very excited to meet him tonight and have a chat.

Gail Ann Dorsey is one of the nicest people I've ever talked to. She even showed me Marilyn. What an incredible honour to have her on my podcast.
-
Just got a "yes" on a big, big guest on my bass podcast. Chuffed to bits. Can't wait to speak to this amazing bassist.
-
This month marks my 25th anniversary as a bass player. That's a long time.
-
Got a call for a UB40 tribute set in November. Did the same gig a few years back, very happy to be called again. Now to decide which bass to bring...
-
So now there are two basses in transit that concern me. My old Custom Shop is on its way to Slovenia, and the 5-string Lakland USA JO that I bought was just posted from Krakow, Poland. I think my heart rate will not go under 150 for the next couple of days.
-
Just shipped my old Custom Shop Jazz to Slovenia. I've packed it well but it's still so scary. I hope it arrives well.

In Bath tomorrow and Bristol on Wednesday, with about an hour and a half to kill in both cities. Stuff I should check out? Shops, anyone up for coffee...?
-
Bath is a lovely place. Vintage n' rare guitars shop - if you want to look at old instruments you can't afford lol.
Nice little cafe on Pultney bridge (you have to at least go & look at the bridge when in Bath - it's the law ha ha).
So many nice buildings & pretty places. The Roman baths are quite expensive to visit these days, but worth a visit, especially if you're not often in the area.
Re Bristol, I like the whole area around St. Nicholas's market. Some great street food in the market. Some cracking pubs in the city. I like the Strawberry Thief close to the market. Really nice Belgian beers - but it's not cheap. Or there's a cracking micro brewery near Temple Meads railway station, situated underneath a railway viaduct.
"Little Martha's Brewery"

The new EP by Aafke Romeijn is here! Super proud of these songs. And also: super proud that my slap bass feature is on the title track.
-
Dang it. Because of my "which bass do you want but shouldn't" topic I posted a wanted ad for a Sterling Ray24 or 34. Stupid GAS.
-
I have a gig tomorrow. One of the songs we're playing is I Can't Make You Love Me. Question is: do I bring a fretless just for that 1 song (out of over 20)?
-
Wish me luck on a possible bass acquisition next Tuesday. Can't wait.
-
So someone stole two pairs of my favourite Nike Air Max today. Such a dumb theft, but so annoying. Give me back my shoes.
-
Well, thanks UPS. They shipped my new bass from Tamworth to Amsterdam (where I live). And then to Stanford. And then to Amsterdam. And then to Stanford. And now it's on its way to Amsterdam for the third time in two days. Great.
-
Just got word that UPS is picking up my new bass at Andy Baxter's today. Can't wait.

What bass are you getting @BassAgent?
-
-
So it's going to take a while because I've agreed with Andy Baxter to wait with shipping until after New Year's (to prevent pointless storage in transit) but this absolutely gorgeous 44-60 with Fralin pickups is coming my way. Can't wait.

@TheGreek Yeah me neither but on the other hand: no shortage of basses here

Was scammed yesterday; I've been looking for a Danelectro 59 single cut for a while now. Got a message from someone who sold one, living 2 hours away, for a decent price. So I got in my car, drove for over 2 hours (darn traffic) and the person nor the bass existed.
-
I already have five Jazz Basses and have serious GAS for a sixth one. What's wrong with me? Please send help.
