BassAgent

I’m currently at a concert and one of the bass players uses this bass. Doesn’t sound very spectacular through that SWR Redhead but certainly looks the part. Does anyone know what it is?

I love the combination of the conventional body and colour with the modern touches of blade pickups, graphite neck and Hipshot(?) bridge. Very cool bass. Must sound amazing.

First single is out! It's called "Speeltuin", which translates to "Playground". Check it on Spotify here. Gear used: Fender '71 P, Moog Sub Phatty. I wonder what you think!

Thanks! It's a poly bass though

A previous owner of one of my basses has tried to clean it but apparently used the wrong thing for it, since there's superficial scratches all over the body and headstock. Is there any way to kinda get rid of those scratches? They look like they're just in the clear coat.

I’m almost back in Amsterdam, and I enjoyed the show a lot The lay-out was better than two years ago (I wasn’t there last year) and although I hung around at the Eich stand mainly (who tried the Bass Board?). Sorry about the noise now and then. We try to keep it down whenever possible but some people love to crank up the amp when we’re not watching. We sometimes had some problems talking when someone was trying out the Darkglass pedals or a Vanderkley amp, so I hooe we can find a better solution for that next year. Testing amps is always a hard thing at a show like this. Personally, the four-neck bass wasn’t my fsvourite either and I’ve turned down the amp multiple times there. But as I said yesterday, please please ask us about the volume next time. We rarely got comments from the lady with the decibel meter, and especially today the guys from Bass Direct didn’t complain either. It’s hard to hear how loud you are on the other side of the room when you’re standing next to an amp I occasionally walked into the luthier’s room or the hallway to have a chat with Sander de Gier, Andrew (of Anaconda basses) or other great folks. Absolute peak for me was the Dingwall Combustion 5, the trans white one. It fit my hands perfectly and it’s an amazing match with the Eich amps. Might save up some cash to buy one soon. Another plus for me is always the city, I’ve visited London many times already and it just feels like home somehow. I already saw some photos on Facebook, looking forward to seeing more shots!

Yeah sorry about that. It wasn’t me but I was at the stand and the guy was turning up the amp every time we turned it down. We’ll pay more attention to that tomorrow. Please ask us tomorrow or have somebody ask if you’re bothered by it First day was pretty cool! More people than I expected and I was really blown away by the Marleaux and Dingwall basses. Can’t wait for tomorrow, but first, beer!

Ahhh that sucks Stephen! Hopefully tomorrow perhaps? @Silvia Bluejay as Si said: Alan is probably there yes

I hope all of you guys can get here in time! I read that Sander de Gier’s flight got cancelled and he’s on a boat, and more people from Holland are in trouble. I’m in a pub with a beer. Come say hi at the Eich stand tomorrow!

The weather is amazing indeed!

I’m on the train to Brussels at the moment, super excited Won tickets to see a QI recording tonight so extra excitement is in order.

Uh oh. I hope I can get to Earl's Court tonight.

Ooooo crikey, I hope my Eurostar train will be ok tomorrow.

Wait...WHAT?! That is extrémely cool.

The party starts on Thursday for me, when I catch a train for an extra day and a half in London I'd love to catch a concert or something on Thursday and/or Friday, anyone with a good idea? I'm always in for a pint somewhere as well, so hit me up

So I've been listening to a lot of Jon Hopkins lately and tried to make a sort of bass arrangement for his piano piece "Small Memory". Short but lovely.

Plus, to be honest, I mainly go for the exhibitors and for all the people to chat with.

Yes, but not who will be performing on which day yet. EDIT: Oh wait, yes it is. You have to search a bit but then here it is. I think Bobby will perform on Sunday afternoon.

No, the schedule isn't on the website yet.

And I'm SUPER excited that Bobby Vega will be coming!

Haha nice! Adrian is a super nice guy with a very interesting technique.

Up next: Steven Wilson, Rico & Sticks (Dutch legendary hiphop duo), Fat Freddy's Drop and I'm going to a festival which features Queens of the Stone Age, Fink, Nick Cave, David Byrne, Anderson.Paak, MGMT, Jon Hopkins, Franz Ferdinand, Nils Frahm, Leon Bridges, Curtis Harding, The Breeders, St. Vincent... What a line-up.

And another LBGS regular announced: Peter Hook!

Massive update! I sold my Memory Boy, Opto Stomp and OC-2 because I didn't use them. Volume pedal is for sale as well but it'll stay on the board for now. The reverb is on the board with tie wraps because it has foam on the bottom, and if I remove that it's gonna leave a lot behind which makes it kinda impossible to put velcro on it. I don't have a proper solution yet. T-Rex Fuel Tank on the bottom btw.
