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.

Oh definitely @Lozz196, N+1 is always the perfect rule.

Sold my Music Man Sterling today. Missing that amazing neck already.

@Marc SI haven't regretted selling it. Yet. But nothing is forever😁
-
Uh oh. I tried a friend's Walrus Julia. Shouldn't have done that. Should not have done that.
-
Just got confirmation that I'll be interviewing the great Kinga Glyk next Saturday!

@Romeo2I know but couldn't find that particular letter on my keyboard
-
New single by Aafke Romeijn, yours truly on bass. Lyrics in Dutch, bass is my '71 Precision
-
Played at Dutch national radio yesterday! Three songs, three basses, three techniques.
-
Released the 50th (well technically the 51st if you include the Pino Palladino bonus episode) episode of my podcast today. 50 episodes. And far from done.
-
I interviewed the great Pino Palladino! Want to hear it? I released it as a podcast episode.
Check it out:

I grew up in Coventry in the 70s and 80's surrounded literaly by 2Tone/Ska. Loved listening to it but never learned any as I drifted into classic rock, metal and punk. Then one day a few months ago I had a mad fit and decided to learn some Specials basslines (Gangsters/Too Much Too Young/A Message to you Rudy). Best fun Ive had on a four string ever.
-
It feels surrealistic: I have two gigs in one week next week. And one is in Belgium. And they're with an audience. And I can't wait.
-
It's all in Dutch, but here is the complete live stream I did with Aafke Romeijn. Used my Mustang and fretless Stingray and they sound amazing, if I may say so myself.
