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

      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.

  2. BassAgent

    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.

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

    3. Taylor Bitch-blues

      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." ;)

    We did a live session with Tyranni Flock a while ago and it's online now! Check it out.

    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.😁

    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.

  12. BassAgent

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

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

    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.

    4. arthurhenry

      arthurhenry

      @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).

  15. 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 !

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

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

     

  18. BassAgent

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

  19. BassAgent

    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!

      Image may contain: one or more people, beard and text

      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.)

  20. BassAgent

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

      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 ;)

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

  24. BassAgent

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

    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.

  25. 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.
