Done my hours practice today. All play and no work makes Drago an exciting boy.

Chucked a bit of My Sharona into today's bass practice.

I am not very good on a normal guitar but think more like a guitarist rather than a bassist. The few times that I have picked a bass up I try to play 'too many notes'! The 'less is more' thing never quite kicked in with me.

I actually quite fancy recording some simple bass lines music/FX for some puzzle games that I am writing. I don't own a bass though so I will either synthesise them from scratch, or record a guitar and process the sound of that.

If I ever make enough money from the games I will treat myself to a bass!

New guitar day for me last Monday. Had to wait until today to find time to record a video:

Mrs D asked me what I wanted for my birthday in February.

"A Jethro Tull tattoo and an acoustic bass please", said I. "OK", said she.

Mrs D today...

"Do you like those Steinberger basses?"

Well, yes I do, they're on my list of basses to acquire. Perhaps my forthcoming birthday is looking up?

You may care to Google "bass guitar show 2020" (in Manchester at the end of March).....
I couldn't copy and paste info direct into Cycle chat, but you might be interested.
But maybe leave your credit card at home!!!!!

Olympia flat wounds have arrived for Project Home Brew. They look and feel great.

The second pic makes it look like the strings are out of alignment with the neck. I've measured, theres less than 1mm in its, so I guess it's a trick of perspective.
