    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)?

      I would. That's a beautiful song, now I have band envy!

      So, did you?

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

    Just got confirmation that I'll be interviewing the great Kinga Glyk next Saturday!

      Oh for sure, UPS are better than are Evri.  Just adding a little yin to the OPs yang.

      What bass are you getting @BassAgent?

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

    Made a cover of Brian Eno's "Wintergreen". Pretty stretchy. Much fun.

    New single by Aafke Romeijn, yours truly on bass. Lyrics in Dutch, bass is my '71 Precision :)

      Not at all my usual cup of tea, but that was rather blinking good.

      Are the synth bass parts synths or are you using cunning effects and playing both parts? Rather Jealous as I love P's and 71 is my Y.O.B.

    4. BassAgent

      @Nibody The synth is a synth :) I use a Moog Sub Phatty live, I believe this is a vintage Juno.

    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.

      @TheGreek Yeah me neither but on the other hand: no shortage of basses here

    So someone stole two pairs of my favourite Nike Air Max today. Such a dumb theft, but so annoying. Give me back my shoes.

      Ah, we've all regretted selling some bass or other.
      My most recent regret was my Squier CV Precision. But I must behave! apparently.... ;)

      Ah seller's remorse - Every time I've sold a Yamaha Attitude Bass (I've had 4 of them, definitely should not have sold the last one)

    4. BassAgent

      BassAgent

      @Marc SI haven't regretted selling it. Yet. But nothing is forever😁

  9. BassAgent

    The new EP by Aafke Romeijn is here! Super proud of these songs. And also: super proud that my slap bass feature is on the title track.

    Uh oh. I tried a friend's Walrus Julia. Shouldn't have done that. Should not have done that.

      Well, you probably shouldn’t send me a message enquiring about one then ….

      Googled Walrus Julia .....Shouldn't have done that. Should not have done that.

    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.

      That's seemingly common in the USA. Usually with poor pizza delivery guys. They get their float and bike nicked. Seen it happed with Craigslist deals.

      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.

      Very strange.  At least you'll know next time.  Thank goodness none of the other scenarios took place.

  12. BassAgent

    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.

      Multiple trips from Amsterdam to Stanford in a week that’s just screaming to be impounded 😄

      There is some free space in a guitar box into which some herbal remedies could be fitted for transportation...

    Wish me luck on a possible bass acquisition next Tuesday. Can't wait.
