  1. Going to have a podcast chat with Dave Landreth next Sunday. One of my favourite bands and Dave seems like an incredibly nice guy. Can't wait! Podcast will be out next week :)

      Look up Basgasten on Spotify. Over 100 episodes already there (multiple in English, most in Dutch), Dave's episode due somewhere next week.

  2. I need 2nd Jazz bass in my life

      I'm currently at 8 with the 9th coming in May, so there's always room for one extra.

  3. Sold the Mustang, ordered a new custom bass. It's supposed to be finished by...late May.

  4. 10 gigs in the next 14 days. Super excited!

      Almost: one of those gigs is with a different band. The rest is indeed a German tour :)

  6. I haven’t worn these myself, but our drummer swears by the plugs he has, made by Elacin - https://www.elacin.com - he had his moulded to his ears like a hearing aid with -9 db filters. He got them through Hidden Hearing - he has had them for ten years, but reckons there are probably cheaper options out there these days

      I can confirm Elacin protection is great, I do use 15 dB filters though.

  7. 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.

      Through your favourite podcast app, look for Basgasten. 

       

      Here it is on Spotify:

  8. I watch and listen to so many bassists who play Jazz basses and wish I got on with them. They just look so cool!

      What holds you from tagging along with owning the best model of bass to ever exist?

  9. Today I heard Led Zep's "No Quarter" for the first time.
    The dullest, most morose waste of 7 minutes I have ever listened to.

  10. 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.

      @Owen Here it is: 

      There are about 10 or 15 episodes in English.

      Thanks! We did it a few years back, that was already great fun:

  14. Looking for a new/different amp company to try that has good artist support in the UK/Europe? 

    1. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      I've been playing Eich for about 10 years now and have never had shortage of power with my T500 head and two 112XS cabs. Plus their support is incredible.

  15. Listening to Madness - great basslines.

      I did a Madness/Specials tribute set a few years back and transcribed lots of songs for that show. Love it.

  16. 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)?

    1. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Of course, but I did figure out a way to add fretless on 3 other songs.

      More basses is better, that song is supposed to be played on a fretless, but do I bring an extra bass for just one song?

  18. Lehle Mono or Stereo volume pedal for a theatre tour?

    1. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      If you don't use stereo effects, go mono.

  20. 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.

  21. Just got word that UPS is picking up my new bass at Andy Baxter's today. Can't wait.

    1. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Well, apparently it's actually being delivered tomorrow or Friday!

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

      Well it's a common trick to make sure people are not at home so they can burgle the house, but they didn't know my address and my apartment building is a fortress... Plus it was 300 euros, and the address I was sent to wasn't exactly in the middle of nowhere either.

      Well, that's the weird thing: they didn't. I never pay up front. They specifically asked for cash (which is weird), no payment up front (which is weird) so the person that mislead me here didn't gain anything from it, except from a laugh, perhaps.

  25. I already have five Jazz Basses and have serious GAS for a sixth one. What's wrong with me? Please send help.
