    A Dutch singer/songwriter/author has released a new single and she allowed me to go full Pino Palladino on it. Check it out:

      Listening to it as we speak :-) Great stuff !

    Finally sold my fretless De Gier. I'm gonna miss it, but luckily a friend bought it. Can't wait for my new bass, which is due in about a month!

  6. BassAgent

    Going to check out a pretty amazing bass for a pretty amazing price next Monday...wish me luck.

    Got a Squier Bullet from '87 to restore. A good clean, new strings, setup... Can't wait to start on it.

      @arthurhenry & @BassAgent - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the quality of these MIK Fenders :)

    3. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      It's finished! It's quite nice. The neck feels quite wide, more or less like early 60's Precisions. Otherwise it just sounds like a decent Precision. I like it.

      @Marc S I had mine from '88 - '90, but got the chance to play it again very briefly and unplugged, a few years ago. I was impressed enough to think about trying to get it back (it now belongs to a local school).

  8. BassAgent

    Had a great chat with the awesome and ever friendly Michael League today. Such a nice guy with great stories. To be found in my podcast soon!

  9. BassAgent

    Had a great time interviewing Wilco's John Stirratt yesterday! Tomorrow: Jeff Berlin! Got any questions? Let me know!

      I will definitely ask him about gear, but since he's a MarkBass endorser I think i can guess the answer ;)

      Taylor Bitch-blues

      Surely not using MarkBass on my 70's Bruford album  ?

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Yeah but I mean he will probably not tell me "the Markbass rig is awesome but I do prefer the Acoustic (or whichever it is) rig I used on the Allan Holdsworth album." ;)

    Having some fun on Donny Bénet's "Mr. Experience".

      Donny's a funny dude 👍

      Donny is in a league of his own! Awesome.

      GisserD

      brilliant!

      Donny is such a dude!"

    I have no space left on my wall to put another bass. But there is another one coming. I can't put another guitar hanger on there. I'm not selling anything. This is something.

      Yes but so is the coolness of the basses in there so it fills it up nicely

    I just saw the first episode of my own podcast has almost 400 listeners. I was hoping for about 70 or 80 or something. And now it's 400. Crikey.

  16. BassAgent

    I made a reggae remix of a song off the new Billie Eilish album.

      Sophistication well beyond her years. I wanted to go and see her live but saw a youtube clip of her in concert and its just a load of screaming teenage girls. More than a grumpy old man could take !

  17. BassAgent

    I'm going to do online bass lessons through Skype & Zoom! Hit me up to make an appointment :) Fretless, slapping, any technique, any style.

  18. BassAgent

    I'm in Wiltshire until Thursday. Anyone up for a pint or coffe in Bath, Thursday afternoon?

      If I wasn't working I'd be over like a shot - always up for meeting a fellow Basschatter - unfortunately not possible this time around :(

      careful a pint of coffee in the bath ,and you could end up with a brown jacuzzi !

      @anzoidAhhh too bad mate! Next time lucky.

    I've recently started a podcast with and about bass players here in NL and I really enjoy the responses I get. Very positive.

    In England at the moment, have some free time in Bath Thursday afternoon, who's up for a beer?

    1. Marc S

      Marc S

      Wish I was able to join you mate.... but I'll be in work :(
      Hope you have a nice pint, or three ;)
      Some nice pubs in Bath. Check out the tiny, charming "Volunteer Rifleman's Arms" - great little place,
      tucked away in a small lane. Nice atmos, nice beers
      Cheers!

    2. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Thanks! I'll sure try to find it :) We'll be leaving around 8 pm so if you have time, let me know :)

  21. BassAgent

    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.

    1. Chienmortbb

      Chienmortbb

      Wow I don't think we have two gigs this year. Enjoy.

    2. jezzaboy

      Gig?

      Audience?

      :scratch_one-s_head::scratch_one-s_head:

      Nah, never heard of those!

  22. BassAgent

    It has been delivered! Box looks like this however. Body is flawless! Lovely.

      Crikey. What a kerfuffle. At least it's there now. Does Dingwall HQ know yet too?

    3. Rich

      Rich

      Oh my god. What on earth happened to that?

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      No idea what happened. The body is undamaged though. I have already told Dingwall, but I think they're still asleep ;)

  23. BassAgent

    It seems FedEx found my bass body yesterday without noticing me. It was in Memphis all along, and it's supposed to be delivered today. They just e-mailed me "out for delivery", no call, nothing. Thanks FedEx.

      Couriers, couriers, couriers.... Is there such a thing as a good one? :(
      Sorry to hear of your woes. Fingers crossed, that it arrives promptly and safely for you

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      There are good couriers: I have never experienced problems with GLS and UPS (although I know many have had issues with UPS). I do know I'm never using DHL again.

      To be fair to FedEx: they did the shipping of the actual Dingwall bass flawlessly.

  24. BassAgent

    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.

    Jazz number five in the house!

      gjones

      Oh dear. I'm up to 8 now.....

      Don't know how that happened?

      To be fair, 2 are self builds from bits I found hanging around.

      I am currently at 10 basses total, half of which are Jazzes. I really really like Jazz Basses ;)
