    Just put the previous body of my Dingwall up for sale. No idea if the price is right, but hopefully it'll sell quickly :)

  2. BassAgent

    Live home video of my americana band! Had serious fun recording this. Pre order of the new album starts Friday at violethourband.com :)

      Bravo!

    Made an appointment for my second tattoo. I'm already nervous but also can't wait.

      @TheGreek I would have removed your àrse for £400.

      This is the guitarist in my band. About 3 years ago he went and got a tiny tattoo on his arm. Look at him now, he's obsessed!

      The only tattoo I'd have is one in Ink and Braille that says "Get your filthy hands off of my dirty ar5e ya perve!".  I'd have one on each buttock for full protection from drunken females.

      (I got groped once by ladies outside a club once when bending over to take my 'bike lock off.  They were pi55ed as newts and it was a real passion killer.  One of the hazards of wearing full leathers that I don't miss.)

    My De Gier fretless is still for sale. Would love to not have to take it when I move next month.

    Never thought I'd get myself a Dingwall. And now I have. It's. Amazing.

      Nice score, had my NG3 a few months now and it's still impressing me.

      I looked at a Dingwall fretless. The concept made stuff leak out of my ears...

      I swapped my ACG for a combustion 5.  Best deal I have ever done ...and there have been a few.

       

  7. BassAgent

    Now that I have your attention: check out the new vids for my fusion band!

    On Sunday I'll be interviewing one of my all time bass heroes: the great Tim Lefebvre! If you have questions for this giant of bass, hit me up, and you'll hear it back in my podcast :)

    Played at Dutch national radio yesterday! Three songs, three basses, three techniques.

    Please tell me why I shouldn't buy a JMJ Mustang...

    1. bassbiscuits

      bassbiscuits

      No reason at all. Go for it, and enjoy! I've got a regular MIJ Mustang and its a brilliant bass. The JMJ if anything is cooler still, with upgraded pickups, bigger frets and lollipop tuners.

      And so I did!

    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.

  12. BassAgent

    Single for my fusion band, Tyranni Flock, is out TODAY! http://spoti.fi/2trV3Il

      Love it man. Moog bass?

    2. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Thanks! Moog in the beginning, but throughout the tune is my '71 Precision.

  13. BassAgent

    So I got myself a new band!

      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.

    3. Rich

      Rich

      Welcome to the skank zone! Playing ska is an absolute hoot. Can't wait to get out there gigging again.

      May be an image of 5 people

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Thanks Rich! I've been playing ska for about 15 years now so this is just a *new* ska band for me, not the first :)

  14. BassAgent

    Spoke to FedEx on the phone. They asked me if it would be a possibility that Dingwall sends me a replacement body. They actually asked it.

      No response from FedEx yet. They have 2 days until the body is officially lost. By FedEx. And they have to buy a new one.

  15. BassAgent

    Sudden and intense GAS for a fretless Stingray. Why oh why are they NEVER available for sale?

      Yeah I saw that but that's a five and I'm a bit of a sucker for 4 string fretlesses.😁

      Withdrawn, so not sold...

    That moment when you try to setup your new Mustang as low as possible and it goes even lower than you expected. Lovely.

    1. Reggaebass

      Reggaebass

      I play with a really low action, That’s so nice when that happens 🙂

    2. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      Yeah I also like my basses setup quite low, so my eyebrows kept raising while I was setting up my Mustang. Very surprising to feel how low it can go.

    3. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      That's only okay if you can play comfortably with the higher eyebrow action.

  17. BassAgent

    That new Tame Impala song sure has a catchy bass line:

     

  18. BassAgent

    The new body for my Dingwall has been on its way from Paris BACK to Memphis (long story) for eleven days now. I'm starting to think they've lost it.

      You couldn't make this stinky poo up!

    The new single of my americana band Violet Hour is out! You can order the debut album at violethourband.com

    Oh and somehow we got added to another artist called Violet Hour. So check out the website for the correct artist ;)

    Tonight marks the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest and I hope Iceland wins.

    Two new music  videos out today! Check out "Ujung Kulon" by Tyranni Flock (you can hear me on Moog bass and guitar):

    And a video by my friend Aafke Romeijn, where I played my old Precision. Lyrics in Dutch.

  23. BassAgent

    Yep, FedEx has lost my body. They have no clue where it could be. Somewhere between Paris and...the rest of the planet.

      Sorry. Hope it turns up soon.

      Any news?

       

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      No, unfortunately. FedEx called me last Monday and they've also contacted Dingwall for a description of the package. No updates yet.

  24. BassAgent

    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.

    1. Marc S

      Marc S

      Quick, delete it while no one's looking ;) 

  25. BassAgent

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

      I've lost count of how many Jazzes I've got. 

       

      As long as they're not all identical .......because frankly THAT would be weird 😂

    3. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      I think the real issue here is not acknowledging that once you have the six that a seventh will be in order.

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

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